Hi, For a long time I find myself looking for an open smartphone, with Linux and GPS.
Initially I had high hopes for OpenMoko's platform, but now I think it is dying for several reasons: * their's latests phone model Freerunner has audio issues * It has weak connectivity (GPRS) * There is no quality applications for it (like GPS turn-by-turn navigation) due to chicken-egg problem and lack of DRM. This makes me look into direction of Android G1. It is too young to have elaborated applications support, but it already has http://www.andnav.org/ that uses OpenStreetMap data. Currently there is no coverage for Israel though: http://www.andnav.org/images/stories/news/coverage/ Do anybody knows more about andnav2 and Israel support? Also, do any of the Israeli phone carriers plan to import Android-based phones? -- Arie _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
