i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 1. hardware support: getting Linux to boot on these Err bitreich.org 70
i+ twisted hardware setups that smartphones are can be Err bitreich.org 70
i+ frustrating. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 2. application support: writing all the tools that Err bitreich.org 70
i+ make a plain unix shell useable as a phone. It may Err bitreich.org 70
i+ be as simple as a daemon watching incoming phone Err bitreich.org 70
i+ call from hardware abstractions (those from in 1.) Err bitreich.org 70
i+ and playing a ringtone.wav whenever a call comes in, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ it still has to be written. Same goes for a key- Err bitreich.org 70
i+ board application if it uses a touch-screen. Same Err bitreich.org 70
i+ goes for anything. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Since it goes beyond the scope of a week-end hack, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ collaboration takes place for making these projects Err bitreich.org 70
i+ happen. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Maemo Leste is now existing since more than four Err bitreich.org 70
i+ years, and keeps being developed at good pace. It Err bitreich.org 70
i+ even shines where Android does not: it uses mainline Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Linux kernel instead of forks that never get upgraded Err bitreich.org 70
i+ nor contributed back to Linux. This means that all Err bitreich.org 70
i+ software officially supported by Maemo Leste might Err bitreich.org 70
i+ also be available to many more Linux-based projects. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Of course, there are non-official porting efforts for Err bitreich.org 70
i+ more hardware underway to become a completely sup- Err bitreich.org 70
i+ ported target. Like it is for every operating system Err bitreich.org 70
i+ project. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Maemo Leste, the project bringing a real UNIX shell Err bitreich.org 70
i+ where you only had a Android Java ecosystem, featuring Err bitreich.org 70
i+ GPS chips reverse engineering, and a working phone Err bitreich.org 70
i+ module. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The support for the inexpensive PinePhone means you Err bitreich.org 70
i+ can get a fully working linux phone in your pocket. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Grab it while it is hot, the lack of bloated prebuilt Err bitreich.org 70
i+ application forced into it by the vendor means it will Err bitreich.org 70
