These OpenMoko guys have the coolest caption! it says “The Revolution to “Free Your Phone” is Coming…“.

BURLINGAME, Calif. — Can the power of open source be harnessed into the form factor of a cellular phone? That’s the question Taiwan-based OpenMoko hopes to answer positively, when it starts to roll out its OpenMoko platform and phones later this year.

OpenMoko architect Sean Moss-Pultz speaks to GigaOM :

Well, our company, at first. [OpenMoko is part of First International Computer, FIC, a Taiwan manufacturer of motherboards and mobile phones, which plans to make OpenMoko available on its Neo1973 Smartphone.]

We are building ourselves the basic kinds of things you need in a phone — calendar, email, address book, etc. But we hope to attract developers, tap into the same kind of power of other open source projects.

Looks like its Open Source re-charged !! good to see something different, something special being done with Open Source !
