OpenMoko
Openmoko is a project to produce an open source cell-phone including hardware specifications and the operating system [1]. Openmoko Inc. promotes it.
The first subproject is the Linux-based cell-phone operating system using the free software called Openmoko Linux.
The released terminal was Neo 1973 first, and the next subproject released Neo FreeRunner which was a succession model by the development of the hardware terminal which worked in Openmoko Linux on June 25 for [2] [3], the next 2,008 years [4]. Unlike other most cell-phone platforms, it is designed so that an end user revises the operating system and software stack, and there are other Openmoko-adaptive cell-phones.
On April 2, 2009, Openmoko cancels the development of the cell-phone, and it was said that I seem to concentrate on the hardware of other kinds [5], but does it when I continue selling it with support of current Neo FreeRunner [6].

History
It is about November 7, 2006 that a project of Openmoko which First International Computer (FIC) founded was announced [7], and [8], ハラルト ヴェルテ and others will promote a project as a core member.
Etymology
The origin named "Openmoko" assumes it an acronym of Open Mobile Kommunikations [9]. "GTA" which is a code name of the cell-phone series becomes the abbreviated designation of GSM-TI-AGPS which is the main component of the cell-phone [10].
Software
It is the cell-phone operating system called Openmoko Linux or Om first that Openmoko Inc. developed. This is X.Org Server, and graphical user interface and the Linux kernel which I built are used. In addition, I make it and maintain a package software using framework and opkg package system built in OpenEmbedded. GTK+ tool kit and a Matchbox window manager are employed in the Om 2007 version. Supported Qt tool kit and Enlightenment 17 in Om 2008 of the release in August, 2008, but is stable, and reach it with both versions; was not improved. As a result, Openmoko began development of Om 2009 with the goal of providing the middleware-based stable environment of freesmartphone.org where oneself financed. However, the software development by Openmoko was called off without this version being completed in April, 2009.
Still this work was inherited by some community. Several groups developed a modified version of the original software, and I was transplanted by other systems which worked with a cell-phone. The cell-phone of Openmoko supports Android and Debian, Gentoo, QtMoko, SHR now.
Hardware of Openmoko Inc
Neo 1973 GTA01 (a version: Bv4) which was the first smartphone was sold only in openmoko.com from July, 2007 to February, 2008.
As for the second design-based hardware of GTA01, a faster CPU (Samsung 2440) and Wi-Fi function were equipped with in car navigation called Dash Express.
A code name was Neo FreeRunner of GTA02, and the third hardware was a succeeding machine of Neo 1973.
Neo 1973
Neo 1973 (code name :GTA01) was released only by a developer. I correspond to 900MHz, 1,800MHz, the GSM frequency band () of 1,900MHz. I succeeded in operating much Linux and a program of the UNIX to work on a desktop and a server platform including a game and a utility with this smartphone. In addition, Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, L4 kernel work by the cause of the development by the user.
I can emulate software including Openmoko software suite with high-level compatibility on this hardware platform by using QEMU.
Neo FreeRunner
Neo FreeRunner (code name :GTA02) was a new version of Neo 1973, and faster processor (400MHz clock), 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, two accelerometers, 3D graphic accelerator were equipped with. It was released for the open market on June 25, 2008 [4].
Dash Express
Dash Express which was the GPS apparatus which worked in Openmoko Linux that Openmoko Inc. developed on January 2, 2008 was announced [11]. As for this apparatus, a code name called HXD8 is acquired at first, and it is thought that or almost none of Openmoko user interface is used at all, and, using the patch to the kernel which Openmoko Inc merely developed, navigation and the user interface are provided by operating application by Dash Navigation.
Next-generation device
I cooperated with the Golden Delicious computer which was a German engineering firm newly, and, the burr that the reference materials that what happened to GTA 03 under the influence of recession were some, OpenMoko started production of GTA 04 afterwards.
GTA 04 is equipped with Cortex-A8 ARM (1GHz) processor of the 800Mhz equivalency. This open source dynamo is equipped with 800MHz C64x+ DSP (digital signal processor) core and 3D graphic accelerator again.
Extensibility microSDHC of RAM and 32GB of 512MB that put an NAND flash of specifications and 512MB of the processor together is equivalent to iPhone 4 and the hardware specifications of 4s.

Golden Delicious GTA04 board
Golden Delicious GTA04 board is succession of GTA02 board which Neo FreeRunner has built-in. Golden Delicious GmbH which was the sales agency of the upgraded version of Neo Freerunner announced the GTA04 project in mobile office provider of Munich in September, 2010. It was release of Openmoko Beagle Hybrid which used the Beagle Board platform which was made from a prototype if this was for development of next-generation Openmoko phone [15]. In the next month, Golden Delicious published a long-term aim to cast this cell-phone into the market [16]. GTA04 fits 筺体 of Neo Freerunner and can be connected to an outside display and other apparatuses [17]. It was October 10, 2011 that there was the first batch of GTA04A3 EA (initial lot), and [18], the first batch of the GTA04A4 version were January 31, 2012 [19]. The cell-phone completed from a beginning called OpenPhoenux or GTA04 Complete is sold [20].
