<div dir="ltr">Hi Kevin,<br><br>In terms of java support, I've experimented using a large and quite complicated commercial java application on my freerunner, and it ran surprisingly well - there were a few problems in some encryption code, but the rest was pretty good. <br>
<br>However, the performance was not fantastic. The jalimo (jvm) docs say that performance is very bad for swing/awt apps, and this app made heavy use of both.<br><br>I'd guess that if you use one of the GUI frameworks recommended by the jalimo people, it'd be ok.<br>
<br>My understanding though is that a lot of people develop apps for the OM in python using pygtk. I haven't tried that yet myself, but it looks pretty easy and powerful.<br><br>Good luck!<br><br>Warren<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<br><br>My company is planning to roll out a suite of applications to be ran on the openmoko/freerunner platform.<br><br>I'm researching which distribution would be best for our needs. We are not so concerned with the current state of available applications, since we will be writing out own.<br>
<br>So here are a few questions that hopefully you guys can field:<br><br>We are debating between Om 2007.2 and Om 2008.8.<br><br>Which release is more stable? 2007.2 or 2008.8, in regards to the Freerunner.<br><br>Is Java a viable choice to implement a suite of applications on this hardware? What is the state of the JVM? Are there restrictions, e.g. accessing the Accelerometer or other hardware?<br>
<br>If we do not target Java, what API/framework should we target? I suspect for 2008.8 and future development, it would be Qt?<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>-Kevin Dixon<br></div>
