So is it based on Android?<BR>
<BR>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
not exactly, seems there's no phone that runs android yet,<BR>
it seems that freerunner will be capable of it very soon <BR>
<BR>
It's a white box, that runs openmoko which is a full linux distro aimed at running on a mobile phone<BR>
(its on stable now), <BR>
<BR>
here is the soft stack<BR>

<BR>
in the new specs it shows android as well, but mostly as an full stack option,<BR>
<BR>
it's a true linux box with kernel 2.6.*<BR>
if the app fits, then runs,<BR>
i.e. <BR>
ekiga soft voip phone so you can use it when on wifi<BR>
pidgin<BR>
ogg player<BR>
twitux,<BR>
etc, etc,<BR>
<BR>
If anybody can find a better linux gadget let me know,<BR>
