I think FLOSS should be used wherever possible and I love the idea of a fully open phone.
I don't appreciate companies that use FLOSS in their devices yet restrict the user from doing anything, thus showing a lack of respect for the community and philosophies of the software they are profiting from.
I have recently started looking into WiFi web devices, and the Neo1973 Phase2 should be perfect (assuming WiFi is fully up and running for it).
I want to use it as a WiFi SIP phone as soon as there's a client written for it (the idea of using it as a SIP handset for the computer is interesting to me as well). :)
Ideally it should be running a SIP client with SRTP/ZRTP capabilities for secure communications.
Assuming a good interface is made for it, it should make a much nicer (not to mention just plain cooler) GPS device than my old Etrex.
My ideal would be a program with multiple tabs/pages with varying info.
Maybe configurable to be able to set how many pages and what is on each page?
Wardriving/Warwalking! (or just plain Wireless LAN mapping/troubleshooting in general)
(Come on, admit that you've all been thinking the same thing!)
Since it's running a good WiFi chipset and gpsd already, I'm assuming it would be trivial for someone in the know to port kismet to it.
And of course make sure it works with gpsd and the GPS interface program.
No more driving/walking around with a laptop and GPS for wardriving/warwalking or testing out your corporate WLAN - Just fire up your Neo1973 and go!
I'm now using my Freerunner as my cell phone on AT&T prepaid. My old one is soon to be cancelled.
I would like to use it as a document reader as well.
Primarily for PDF and TXT, but of course other formats (ODF?) would be great.
If the quality is good, I might consider using it as a media player (ogg of course!) if I can get a nice big card for it.
My OGG collection is a bit under 4GB as I recall.
I wrote a small pygtk application to switch USB Modes on the Freerunner.
