A few months ago, before Steve Jobs told us about the iPhone, an open source Linux-based free-from-your-lousy-provider phone was shown to the world. Openmoko, a Taiwan based company released on July 9th the developer’s version of their open source phone. The mass-market version (read: the rest of us idiots who don’t know how to program Linux, or anything else for that matter version) will be out in October.
The device itself isn’t as sexy as an iPhone, I agree, but it comes unlocked and its functionality promises to go beyond it.
