Whether it ’s viewed as a natural move forward in the name of openness or a sign that no one in the Earth will ever employ OpenMoko ’s own undefended - source atomic number 76 — iMAndroid have some blurry - as - hell dig of the FreeRunner hardware pass Google ’s open - source OS alternative . Either way , huge credit is due to OpenMoko , for fighting the good fighting ahead of time on .
Still , the reliance on only 100 % open computer hardware components stand for the FreeRunner is still hobbled by a GPRS - only data connection ; that ’s late-90s tech , and for a information - heavy platform like Android , could be a massive pain . Or peradventure it will be the first Android phone with a barrage that can last more than 12 hours without needing a reboost ? round out out the spectacles is more typical smartphone transportation : wi - fi , AGPS , Bluetooth , microSD slot , and a 400 megacycle Samsung C.P.U. .
Price and availability are not yet available , but I would reckon CES will exuviate a moment more light on thing . [ iMAndroid ]
