Trolltech's GreenPhone. This development ODM version doesn't come with WiFi, but it has Bluetooth, QVGA screen and more. The phone looks like a normal phone, but it has a touchscreen.


Guy Martin from Motorola. At last, someone who knows his stuff regarding Linux at Motorola and we were able to get info regarding their Linux phones: the plan is that all future Motorola phones (Chameleon or EZX platform) will come with a standard SDK that enthusiasts will be able to write native applications for. Motorola hopes that others will use their stack and so they create a big Linux platform of many binary-compatible phones in the market. However, don't expect an SDK to be released for their current Linux phones...



On the first picture, the very helpful Eugene Tan of Palmsource (ex-Be, Inc. build engineer). Also, the Palm ALP running a GTK application recompiled for PalmSource's version. They are using Glade 3.0 and they have contributed many new widgets to the Glade developers, but they think that these haven't been integrated yet to the standard Glade... Apparently with a small makefile change you can recompile existing GTK applications for the ALP (and some reformatting of Widgets is getting taken care of by the ALP system so it fits on the small screen). Unfortunately we were not allowed to take pictures from the live ALP running on some Haier cellphones (with touchscreen). The interface looked good, although the system requires 64MBs of RAM, which is kinda hefty requirement if they try to market them towards mid-range cellphones...


The always cool Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda of Slashdot in a bean bag at the Slashdot lounge. Jeff "Hemos" Bates was hunting elephants in Africa, he told us... ;-)


The Intel booth.
