Within my position for the promotion of free, open-source hardware solutions in general (and currently, telephony in particular), I am of course trying to keep in touch with the latest developments in this field. Eventually, I have met the fine people at ROAD, a small company in Berlin developing a phone: the Officer S101.
If you don't know about it already, its form-factor will remind you of the Nokia Communicator: from the outside, it looks like a regular candy-bar phone, but it also reveals a full keyboard and wide-screen display when opened. What interests us here is that its inside is open, too :)
The device is not in production yet, but they have been so kind as to let me borrow a sample for a while, which I demonstrated during my hackable:Device workshops at HAR2009 by the way. This is where I managed to install hackable:1 on the phone.
On the hardware side, it was difficult to let it be easier to test. Let me stress first that this was a pre-production device, and all of this may be subject to changes! So here we are:
About the software now, this device happens to use the same architecture as the Openmoko Freerunner within Debian, "armel". One only has then to choose the right packages, configure them accordingly and generate a filesystem archive.
First, I have added a generic device definition file in trunk/build/profiles/ROAD-Officer.include:
Unlike the Openmoko Freerunner, which has its own dedicated X server, we are using the generic framebuffer-based X server. It just works :)
Next comes the actual profile definition, in trunk/build/profiles/ROAD-Officer-user.profile:
Anyway, after some more tuning in trunk/build/packages, it was time to generate the filesystem archive:
At this stage, the only missing bit was the kernel. I simply used the one already flashed onto the device, but I still needed some modules. They were of course provided to me in source and binary forms, but I don't think this kernel tree is available publicly at the moment. I am sure it will be as soon as the ROAD developers can manage.
Unfortunately, I could only get this far yet. It boots all the way to the graphical user interface, where the Om2007.2 design does not really fit the rather wide screen. We are currently working hard on the next release, rev5, and focusing on the Openmoko Freerunner first, but I will be resuming this work soon enough!

- the phone has an internal flash memory but can also boot on an SD card, which is conveniently replaceable without opening the phone or even removing the battery,
- the first partition of the SD card must be formatted as a FAT filesystem,
- I was provided with two second-stage bootloaders: one that boots the phone from flash, and the other which updates it.

Diego Forlan's major impact at WCup (Agencies)

PORT ELIZABETH - The difference between success and failure in football is often measured in inches,sac chanel outlet, and so it proved for Uruguay and star striker Diego Forlan on Saturday.
With the last kick of the game in the third-place playoff against Germany, Forlan's freekick cannoned off the crossbar and Germany held on for a 3-2 at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
Inches lower and Uruguay would have taken Germany to extra time and Forlan would have become outright leading scorer at the tournament with six goals.
"Only a tiny thing was missing with the freekick,belstaff jackets," Forlan said as Uruguay lost 3-2 in a thrilling match _ and missed out on third place and its best finish at a World Cup in 60 years.
Despite the small margin, Forlan made a big impact for his country at the World Cup with his five goals,BABYLISS VOLUME WAVES, tying him with three other players _ Germany's Thomas Mueller,ghd gold classic styler, Spain's David Villa and the Netherlands' Wesley Sneijder _ as leading scorer.
"For the Uruguayan team Forlan is a very important player," said coach Oscar Tabarez. "He is the top football player for us."
"He has achieved many things. He has taken the leading role in our team. We almost can't do without him."
With his help,hermes, Uruguay got to the brink of the final before a 3-2 semifinal defeat by the Dutch.
Forlan scored from a vicious long-range shot in that semifinal. There was also a swerving,Rising star Djokovic ready to pounce in Paris sJ,mulberry purse, dipping freekick in the quarterfinals against Ghana and a spectacular volley against the Germans in the third place playoff.
Forlan has now scored 29 times for his country, two off Hector Scarone's all-time Uruguay record.
He will also share the World Cup's Golden Boot award in 2010 _ provided Sneijder or Villa don't score in Sunday's World Cup final.
The goals from the 31-year-old Atletico Madrid forward were a major reason for Uruguay's best World Cup performance since a fourth-place finish in 1970.
"It's something spectacular to be among the top four," said Forlan. "If someone would've asked us at the beginning,lisseur babyliss, we would've liked it. It's something positive."
Tabarez said there may be one more World Cup in Forlan,peuterey donna 2011-10-22 08:02:04, who will have just turned 35 when the 2014 tournament kicks off in Brazil.
"It will depend on what Diego has in his mind,Mulberry Bayswater," Tabarez said. "Physically there is nothing stopping him."
"He takes care of himself so it all depends on what perspective he has himself for his future. He will go on contributing for our team.
"He is not like any other player."
