State of OM/Freerunner
Hi all, I have been 'following' - admittingly - from a distance the dicussions on this list. As till now i have not found a CLEAR (!) overview over the current state of the freerunner and its software stack(s). In fact scanning through the 'issues' on the list it looks as if things are not really workable at all. However knowing lists and the things ppl. try with the device, this view might be overly negative. What I would like to see or be pointed to is a web page or YouTube movie or what not that shows what WORKS and with WHICH environment (OM, QT, Android, ... ). We are looking for a device that could be used in a professional context. I.e. the device would be preconfigured for its purpose and no 'regular' end user would need to 'configure' anything. So could somebody point me to a place I could read that is CURRENT and allows me to get a good (non-kernel, non-hardware, ...) overview over how usefull FR is could be in the above situation.

Re: State of OM/Freerunner
OM has done vertical stack integrations for Dash before, and their device is pretty neat. I assume: A) You'll want a different piece hardware B) You'll write a totally new frontend on top of FSO. You really shouldn't have any problems On Tue, Feb 3, 2009 at 5:28 PM, wim.delv...@adaptiveplanet.com wrote: Hi all, I have been 'following' - admittingly - from a distance the dicussions on this list.

I.e. the device would be preconfigured for its purpose and no 'regular' end user would need to 'configure' anything. from http://www.openmoko.com/product-qa.html: A: If you plan on using your FreeRunner for everyday use, then we would recommend Qtopia. While it doesn't utilize all the the new hardware features of the phone, it is reliable and stable. If you are more inclined toward trying software UNDER DEVELOPMENT and want to PARTAKE in the EFFORT to MAKE the phone of the future, then use Om 2008 and watch for monthly updates. So could somebody point me to a place I could read that is CURRENT and allows me to get a good (non-kernel, non-hardware, ...) overview over how usefull FR is could be in the above situation. Imho, if you were asking for personal opinions, perhaps several people would advise you on their impressions with the several options and their relative maturity. Those are given everyday.
