 Congratulations to Valério, he won the first 24h-coding prize at Sapo Codebits by turning [http://www.valeriovalerio.org/?p=187 freerunner in a mouse and gamepad] using the accelerometers. Code will be merged with [[ReMoko]]. Another month goes by without a 2008.x release, but Openmoko's optimization team invites volunteers to install the latest testing image and report. And we have lots of newer applications.
