A780/e680 - Full Fledged Linux Phone

Hi guys,

the OpenEZX project aims to replace the Motorola distribution on these phones with a stack fully based on open source software. The kernel guy is making great progress with 2.6.16 and I added first support for the phone in OpenEmbedded.

If you want to get one of those, then act now or come too late - unfortunately the phone seems to be nearly sold out and MOTO stopped producing it. I just ordered mine at ARP DATACON (http://www.arp.com) who seems to have some in stock.

For me it's a great opportunity to have an Embedded Linux phone with (not now, but hopefully soon) Opie, E and GPE on it, this is why I'm posting about it.

Python 2.4.3 For Sharprom

Hi SharpROM and clones-lovers,

I've updated my python-for-arm-linux feed at PythonForSharpROM with Python 2.4.3. This time I used a very ancient Embedix SDK in order to make the packages work with the SharpROM.

I'd be interested in knowing
*) whether they work for you and
*) whether the SharpROM feed is still of any use for you.

The URL for the project page is Python-for-arm-linux - note that the package browser points to the "modern" feed, which is atm. older than the SharpROM feed ;-)

Happy Python'ing,

Do You Prefer Pim Apps Or A Web Browser?

The 16MB (actually 14.5MB) default Opie image for SL5500/SL5000 has not enough room for both PIM apps and a web browser. If you were to decide whether to have the Opie PIM apps or the Konq/E installed by default, what would you chose?

Which Pim Backend Do You Use?

Due to some size contraints, I'm evaluating to remove one PIM data backend in the forthcoming OpenZaurus 3.5.4/Opie for SL5000/SL5500 Image. (On the other models, we have enough space to include both per default).

I'm leaning towards removing the sqlite backend for the collie image, but I will reconsider this if many people are telling me they're using this backend. So - please participate on this poll if you have a collie and are using the Opie PIM apps.

Openzaurus For C1000 And C3000

is there.
