Openmokast - the first device based on the smartphone Openmoko

In continuation of the recently raised habrotopik about open source hardware, I would like to share the news that I just found.

The Canadian CRC (Communications Research Center Canada) has created a prototype of the first device based on the Neo FreeRunner openmophone of the Openmoko project.

For this, the CRC added the original Neo FreeRunner:

• USB receiver for decoding radio signals of various formats (DAB, DAB +, DMB, Slideshow, Visual Radio and Journaline);
• included in the software of the project CRC-DABRMS, originally intended to control the DAB-receivers for the PC.

Its software interface can be viewed on LinuxDevices.com and on Openmokast.org .

Openmokast will show the public at IBC 2008, which will be held in Amsterdam (Holland) from 12 to 16 September.
