GSM Palm Pre on the horizon

Mickey · September 24, 2009

As mentioned unavailable, the freesmartphone.org team and community has taken the challenge unavailable to put the FSO stack on the Palm Pre which is out next month. The goal is to manage a voice call with the FSO stack within four weeks.

The idea behind this is a very important one. With only the Openmoko FreeRunner as a platform, the FSO stack is doomed into oblivion sooner or later, since its a very limited hardware platform – in quantity, but considering the closed alternatives also in quality. Hence, we need to proof that FSO can run on current, competitive hardware – to embrace companies that want to adopt FSO in their niche.

The Palm Pre is currently our major hope – all other hardware being either too closed (yes, this includes the Nokia N900) or already outdated.
