| micahg | does anyone know of a smartphone list that can run Ubuntu Mobile? | 00:56 |
|---|---|---|
| jmc93739653 | micahg: Ubuntu Mobile has, up toward the present, been an x86 only, distribution variant. | 01:03 |
| jmc93739653 | micahg: [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Mobile | 01:03 |
| micahg | ok, is there a channel for MID? | 01:04 |
| jmc93739653 | micahg: [1] http://people.canonical.com/~ogra/mobile/ | 01:04 |
| * micahg wants to run ubuntu on a smartphone | 01:05 | |
| jmc93739653 | This is the place for MIDs and higher-end mobile handsets. :) From what bits of information I have, there are efforts underway to add ARM along-side x86 for the next Ubuntu Mobile release. | 01:06 |
| micahg | ok, any idea which phones that would work for? | 01:07 |
| micahg | would it be able to work as a normal handset as well? | 01:07 |
| micahg | after the Palm Pre phoning home blog post, I'd like to know what's installed on my phone | 01:08 |
| playya_ | which processor is in the palm pre? | 01:10 |
| micahg | idk | 01:10 |
| micahg | I don't want to buy it anymore | 01:10 |
| micahg | I'd rather get a phone that can run Ubuntu | 01:10 |
| playya_ | you need at least a arm5 processor | 01:11 |
| playya_ | but maybe you want to join #ubuntu-arm | 01:11 |
| jmc93739653 | playya_: The Palm Pre uses a TI OMAP3430, if I'm recalling properly. (The iPhone 3GS does too, I believe) | 01:16 |
| micahg | thanks, I'm asking in #ubuntu-arm | 01:17 |
| playya_ | ok. jmc93739653 thats the same as the n800? | 01:18 |
| playya_ | btw. nokia gave a preview on n900 | 01:18 |
| jmc93739653 | playya_: The N900 uses the TI OMAP3430, the N800 & N810 used up Nokia's excess inventory of OMAP2420's :) | 01:20 |
| playya_ | ok | 01:21 |
| playya_ | i'll buy a palm pre | 01:21 |
| playya_ | and maybe i should focus on some n800 projects to get one of those cheap n900s | 01:21 |
| jmc93739653 | playya_: I want to see images of the N900's screen. 1024x600? OLED or AMOLED screen, or a newer spin on the N810's transflective LCD? And the keyboard with backlighting. | 01:23 |
| playya_ | n900 has one thing I'm missing in my n800: a GSM modem | 01:24 |
| jmc93739653 | playya_: Deutsche Telekom (AKA T-Mobile) is planning on rolling out N900's bundled with data plans. | 01:28 |
| playya_ | grrr. i sign my next contract with o2 | 01:30 |
| playya_ | atm its vodafone and i want to leave these bit*** | 01:30 |
| jmc93739653 | playya_: You could be rocking a fantastically low-end "pre-pay as you go" Motorola flip-phone like me :) | 02:06 |
| playya_ | no. i want to run ubuntu/openmoko on it | 02:07 |
| playya_ | and i'll keep my n95 or freerunner as primary device jmc93739653 | 02:08 |
| jmc93739653 | playya_: I would too, if I were you :) Ironically, Nokia paid for 3D acceleration drivers for the N95, but decided not to do so for the N96. | 02:09 |
| playya_ | but the prototypes used the accelerations | 02:10 |
| jmc93739653 | playya_: I'm just an average nerd. The closest I've been to a mobile handset prototypes have been through FCC RF-emission compliance tests, whispered code-names or leaked photos. :-/ | 02:28 |
| playya_ | i worked for nokia during my practical semester and they already had n96, n86, n810, ... | 02:31 |
| playya_ | and some other cool stuff | 02:31 |
| jmc93739653 | playya_: Very nice. :) | 02:40 |
| jmc93739653 | playya_: I've had Android running on the N800. As well as native N800 "Diablo" NAND images running on QEMU. | 02:40 |
| jmc93739653 | playya_: I was impressed by the performance of earlier Android images -- running it natively on a 400 MHz ARMv6 was by _far_ faster than Android via QEMU-0.8.x on a 2000 MHz x86 (Dothan, 90 nm, 2048 KiB L2). | 02:40 |
| playya_ | i had it once on my freerunner | 02:41 |
| playya_ | but i switched back to shr for development jmc93739653 | 02:41 |
| jmc93739653 | playya_: The "N800 vs. Pentium-M 755" boxing-match had TI's OMAP2420 flat-out _embarrassing_ one of the more elegant, and aggressively single-thread/integer-perf. tuned x86 CPUs to hit mass production. | 02:50 |
| jmc93739653 | playya_: I keep waiting for consumer-level, Freescale i.MX51 family devices to get to market. But the schedule keeps slipping. | 02:52 |
