The stndard openmoko software has been frozen for RTM. a while back.
Basically we decided to focus on key functionality ( dialer, SMS, contacts) get that key functionality to a gold master status. do the RTM and then move on to the new software. So, the phones that come out first will ship with the Openmoko software you have all seen. GTK based. The GOAL of the software that ships with the phone is to give people basic functioning phone capability. So, for example, my kid has been using his Freerunner since he got it as his regular phone. He could not do that with the GTA01 because of various "quirks" power, 850, etc etc. GOING FORWARD, our internal resources will be focused on a collection of software that leverages the work of Qtopia while developing a new suite of applications that haven't been seen on phones before. ASU the april release will not ship with the first phones. It is PRE Alpha at best. At some point The ASU sample people have been looking at will mature enough and be RTM _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ron K. Jeffries Sent: Sunday, May 25, 2008 12:35 PM To: OpenMoko Subject: software load for first mfg run of Freerunner? Is ASU what ships? I am NOT asking if mass production has started. I am asking if OpenMoko has frozen a release to load into the microSD cards. It seems to me that the unit can come off the line, and that one of the final steps before packing would be to load the software. Is ASU "the* ship[ping s/w load? yes I know people can and will download new s/w. but you'd hope that the Freerunner as shipped would not require an immediate s/w reload. Or maybe I'm being too "old skool" ??? -- Ron K. Jeffries http://blog.eronj.com
