GTA02-core http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Gta02-core http://gta02-core-news.blogspot.com/ last thing i heard on the mailing list is that they plan to make a small number (something like 20), and were collecting names of people who wanted to buy them (costing more, than a freerunner, and with a low chance of being fully functional). basically good for devs. Openmoko Beagle Hybrid http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Openmoko_Beagle_Hybrid http://www.handheld-linux.com/wiki.php?page=Openmoko%20Beagle A board to attach a beagleboard to an openmoko phone. its not actually a functioning phone, but lets you design a software stack for a future openmoko type phone, with much faster hardware. note: i am not deeply involved, so i speak with no authority, but this is how i see it: the difficulty in making a working phone is the economies of scale. i think there were about 10k freerunners made, which is maybe of the order of 2 million dollar/euro. even then you can't compete with specs on mainstream phones. so you need someone willing to put up a lot of money to get going. hopefully the costs of hardware will continue to fall. opensource hardware is growing. if there are people working on designs, then all it takes is an investor and or benevolent, and it will be go again. it would be nice if someone could get an openphone foundation going to focus the effort. sam ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Kurppari...@kurppa.fi wrote: Hi there! does anyone know what's the current status of GSM base station -based positioning services.. How do the different databases compare to each other nowadays? Are there clients to position the user based on the GSM base stations, with on- or offline databases? It'd be great to be able to detect the approximate location from GSM signal and then hook up to GPS faster.. You can get the approximate locations of the celltowers detected nearby with both the cellhunter and openbmap APIs (online). Averaging these and scaling by signal strength gets an alright accuracy (100-500m in some places). AFAIK there isn't an openmoko client for doing that. This accuracy would be better with WLAN essid locations like Google/Skyhook do... I notice openBmap now has wifi data being uploaded on their website so you might be asking at just the right time. There is a specification for wifi uploads ( http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/myposition/index.php?title=Wifi_log_format ) that is used on Windows Mobile but the openmoko client hasn't been updated to publish this as far as I know. I would certainly be very excited to collect more data if it was updated :) There is a project called openbmap-locator that uses an offline version of the openbmap database to emulate a GPS interface via fso-ogpsd ( http://github.com/baruch/openbmap-locator ). It has a few compile time dependencies on SHR including vala which I had to download a tarball for and compile instead of using opkg (i'm sure if you have a desktop OE buildenv, it's much easier). The first time you run it, it downloads a testing sqlite database to ~/.openBmap/cellid.db It is supposed to be possible to download an updated SQL database using a URL like http://openbmap.org/latest/cellular/244_sqlite_zones.zip where 244 is the MCC for the country you want... but there isn't a file for finland and the file for australia (505) seems corrupted. Germany (262) works fine but that's not where I am and I don't know how to convert/import it to sqlite. So all in all, needs some more help to get it ready for normal users. I have been uploading to openbmap for a while now. but not tried openbmap-locator. it would be great if someone could put up a package for openbmap-locator, and maybe have it in SHR. could it be set up so that you just drop the data files into the right place and it works. i am sure it would be especially useful for people in cities, where it can take quite a while to get a fix.
