OpenMoko Announces the World’s First Integrated Open Source Mobile
Communications Platform at Open Source in Mobile Conference in Amsterdam.

Open mobile communications development platform and phones will create explosive growth of
mobile applications to rival the diversity and size of the massive ringtone market and foster new
income models for carriers

OPEN SOURCE IN MOBILE CONFERENCE --Amsterdam, November 7, 2006 –
OpenMoko today announced the immediate availability of a completely integrated open source
mobile communications platform in partnership with FIC, a world leader in motherboards,
graphics cards, mobile solutions, and electronic devices. The announcement of the OpenMoko
mobile communications platform coincides with the unveiling of FIC’s Neo1973 smartphone,
which utilizes the full OpenMoko platform and will be available in January 2007.

Until now, mobile platforms have been proprietary and scattered. With the release of
OpenMoko, which is based on the latest Linux open source efforts, developers now have an easy
way to create applications and deliver services that span all users and provide a common “look
and feel”. OpenMoko also offers common storage models and libraries for application
developers, making writing applications for mobile phones fun and easy while guaranteeing swift
proliferation of a wide range of applications for mobile phones. With such extremely high quality
open frameworks, developers will be armed with exactly the tools they need to revolutionize the
mobile industry.

the upper text is just a clip of whats to come from this revolutionary phone. but, at the very least this is the first phone to offer open sourse technology. Like Linux or wikipedia users can shape the phone to work anyway they want. The phone can be used on any network with various softwares. I believe this is the first step in real making a revolutionary product. Its the first step to aloow endless options for the consumer. Check out
