Letux 380 Project

Neo 1973 - Letux 380 - C3100 Our planned Price: currently not in stock.

We have been offered a nice and small Linux PDA phone by an asian manufacturer and analysis has revealed that it runs Linux (2.4) plus Qtopia. And, the best thing is that it is possible to install arm-linux-gnu user-space software (e.g. openssh) through the USB cable since it runs an FTP server. It is generally binary compatible to the Sharp Zaurus devices (with Sharp ROM) so that it is easy to find development tools (gcc and libraries). But to really make this Letux 380 (that is our name for it) available, we need a community and enough (potential) buyers since there is a quite high minimum order quantity. So, if you are interested in this project, please contact us or place a "request" (you do not have to pay). Please visit www.letux.org for announcements and support forum. Interested? Please contact us.
