OpenMoko -- on my TV!
I don't usually watch the local news, but Sunday night I tuned into a broadcast on KGO, ABC channel 7 in San Francisco, to catch a weather forecast, and . . . . . . what did I see but a report on open-source phones, prominently featuring OpenMoko! The segment included some hands-on action shots of the Neo1973 and an interview with our Michael Shiloh (http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/User:Michaelshiloh). Pretty cool! And good show, Michael. Here's a link to the story and video: http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=drive_to_discoverid=5671823 They also cover the Silicon Valley Homebrew Mobile Phone Club, which appears to be tinkering with a Gumstix-powered platform with a bigger screen, but the story indicated they are looking favorably at the Neo platform as well. ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: OpenMoko -- on my TV!
Yes, entertaining. It's always funny how you cringe when the mainstream media says something backwards or funky because they don't have the terminology right or much of an understanding of the thing. One or two cringe moments watching this vid. ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
