<br><br>For Neo1973: No way. We are happy to deliver "a very basic smartphone"<br>from the hardware point of it. As you have noticed, even something as<br>simple as that (from the hardware point of view) has caused delays and
<br>delays.<br><br>For our 2008 device plans: We're keeping an eye on it. For something<br>ISO14443-1/2/3/4 compliant it would be possible, since that is open<br>enough. The other side is the chipset. I'm currently not aware of any
<br>NFC chipsets that would even allow the driver and other software to be<br>Free Software. And that is a sort of a blocker issue for us.<br><br>--<br>- Harald Welte <<a href="mailto:laforge@openmoko.org">laforge@openmoko.org
