+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">Unrestricted download of CAD files for Neo branded phones available at openmoko.com lets developers design their own mobile phones</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">Openmoko FreeRunner mobile phoneTAIPEI, TAIWAN - March 4, 2008 - Openmoko, creator of the first completely open mobile computing platform, expanded the meaning of Open Source by posting the industrial design source files for its Neo branded mobile phones. Industrial design artists now have the same freedom as software engineers.</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">Openmoko's source code was freed in February 2007, allowing complete transformation of its mobile phone software. Now, by publishing mechanical CAD files, Openmoko frees industrial designers to fundamentally redesign the Neo branded mobile phones to fit their vision and market needs. Some already have.</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">Exploded CAD of Openmoko Neo phoneInspiring a New Generation of Product Designers</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">Openmoko posted the Neo CAD files on its site without fanfare. Within days, Guillermo Sureda-Burgos (www.sureda.org.), visiting instructor of Industrial Design at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, said: "I am amazed at the depth of your commitment to open design. This must be the first time in history that a company has opened its intellectual property to this extent. Openmoko's revolutionary posting of the CAD files gives a whole new generation of Industrial Design students incredible insight into how it's done as well as an opportunity to contribute with new concepts."</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">Openmoko posted the CAD files at http://downloads.openmoko.org/CAD/ under a ShareAlike Creative Commons license, thereby establishing a community where designers and developers can share concepts about the next generation of Open Source mobile computing devices. Openmoko encourages developers and designers to build their businesses by leveraging the Openmoko FOSS and CAD resources to speed development of new mobile products.</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">Because of the overwhelming response by developers and industrial designers to the initial posting of the Neo 1973 CAD files, Openmoko has committed to opening the CAD files for the design of the upcoming Neo Freerunner mobile phone before the phone even hits the market.</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">Sharing A New Vision of the Design Process</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">"Openmoko provides one more key to anyone who wants to unlock the mobile phone. With these drawings, developers and designers will be able to create their own open phone from the inside out," said Lawrence Lessig, Founder and CEO of Creative Commons. "By releasing the CAD files for the exterior of the phone under the Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0 license, Openmoko is unlocking what is a typically closely guarded secret in consumer electronics companies and putting it under a free license so others can build upon their work legally."</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">The decision to release the files that describe the physical shell of the device was driven by the community of Open Source developers. The goal was to enable changes to the case that go beyond mere cosmetics and address the fundamental needs of specific vertical markets by modifying the phone from the inside out.</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">"Open Source development encourages contributions from a diverse, imaginative, and creative software community. Unlocking the CAD files for the Neo cases empowers the industrial design community to share and contribute their unique designs," said Openmoko Head of Developer Relations, Michael Shiloh. "And, with ready access to benchtop CNC machines and 3D printers, people will build these designs, even in single quantities."</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">The Neo series of open mobile devices is currently being sold to developers and educational institutions worldwide through Openmoko, the independent subsidiary of Taiwan electronics giant FIC. Dedicated to providing a totally FOSS mobile computing platform for development of mobile consumer electronics communication devices, Openmoko provides the community with the software sources, and now the industrial design drawings, while FIC offers the manufacturing services for the next generation of breakthrough consumer electronics products.</p>

+<p class="p2"><br>
+</p>
+<p class="p1">Distributors seize opportunity to reach significant markets with programmable mobile phone.</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">TAIPEI, TAIWAN June 25, 2008 - Openmoko, creator of the first completely open mobile computing platform, today announced agreements with five distributors for the Neo Freerunner Open Source mobile phone. Today, Openmoko will begin shipping the next generation Neo Freerunner to Pulster, Golden Delicious Computers and TRIsoft located in Germany, Bearstech in France and IDA Systems based in India.</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">IDA Systems specializes in customized software development and retail sales of hand-held computer devices.

+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">Openmoko home pageThe new Openmoko Neo Freerunner phone will ship with a basic developer platform. Subsequent software can be downloaded from the Openmoko developer site. The Neo Freerunner comes to market after Openmoko shipped the highly successful Neo 1973 in 2007. Distributors will offer either the 850 MHz or 900 MHz models of the Neo Freerunner to accommodate telecommunications frequencies worldwide.</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">"We have moved beyond the early adopter stage and are now ready to release the next generation Neo Freerunner to markets where we are seeing early traction," said Steve Mosher, Openmoko vice president of marketing. "These key distributors have relationships that reach deeply into markets that can leverage the features of this remarkable mobile device and advance it even further through software and exterior customization."</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">To help developers create unique versions of the Neo Freerunner mobile phone, Openmoko recently posted CAD files for the phone's industrial design. The CAD files enable developers to design and completely modify and rapidly create prototypes for the phone case to suit their own customers' needs. Openmoko is also working with the Open Source community to expand the phone's software functionality to address the needs of high potential vertical markets such as academic, travel, science, and medicine, as well as refining the software for an eventual launch into the mass consumer market.</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">Pulster CEO, Christoph Pulster, said, "As the first official distributor for Openmoko products, we look forward to helping deliver Openmoko's latest baby, the Freerunner open mobile phone platform, into the German consumer and industrial markets." Dr. Nikolaus Schaller of Golden Delicious Computers: "We strongly support the idea to give the open source community full access to open devices. We contribute our experience in import and trading business so that customers in European markets can buy this and future devices assured of sustained high level commercial support."</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">Marc Stephan of TRIsoft says "Soon after we started the preorder phase after CeBit 2008, the customers response exceeded all our expectations. So we're happy to announce the partnership with Golden Delicious Computers to ensure a strong and professional EU-wide distribution of the Openmoko devices." Amiya Kumar Das, director of IDA Systems, said "We have been resellers of several hand-held devices and laptops in India. We look forward to contributing our expertise in software development and Openmoko retail sales in the India market.</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">Pricing and availability</p>
+<p class="p1">The Openmoko Neo Freerunner has a suggested retail price of $399. Openmoko will sell the phone directly from it its webshop www.Openmoko.com and via distributors in Europe and India. The company will announce availability in other regions of the world at LinuxWorld Expo in San Francisco, August 5-7, 2008 where Openmoko can be seen in the Linux Garage Pavilion booth 1234 in the Moscone Center North Hall.</p>

+<p class="p1"><strong>Publishes Schematics for Neo Phones</strong></p>
+<p class="p2"><br>
+</p>
+<p class="p1">Openmoko shows beauty is more than skin deep<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
+<p class="p2"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
+<p class="p1">LINUXWORLD EXPO, San Francisco, CA - Booth 1625 - August 5, 2008 - Openmoko, maker of open source mobile products, today announced that it has taken another step in opening its mobile platform to the development community by announcing it will publish the schematics for the Neo 1973 and Neo FreeRunner mobile phones.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Openmoko broke with traditional mobile phone manufacturers by shipping its Neo 1973 and Neo FreeRunner mobile phones with a free and open source (FOSS) operating system and open applications, enabling developers to take the functionality of the phone well beyond the limited applications that commercial mobile phones can handle.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>The Neo FreeRunner went on sale July 4, 2008.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>In less than a week the initial Neo FreeRunner allocation had sold out.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">Openmoko has previously published the CAD files for the product under a Creative Commons license so product designers can alter the look and feel of the phone case and craft it to suit such vertical markets as fashion, science, medical, industrial, or enterprise.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Developers can also choose other materials for manufacturing the case, making more appealing to fashion tastes or enabling the phone to withstand rugged environments and harsh use.</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">Now, Openmoko announced it will publish the schematics of the phone, giving engineers free reign to modify Neo phones.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Just as Free and Open Source Software provides source code information, open schematics provide vital information to engineers who may want to add functionality, external instruments or sensors, or assist the company in debugging problems, ultimately creating a better product for the entire mobile community.</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">GPS Schematics Available</p>
+<p class="p1">Most recently, u-blox AG, Switzerland, maker of the GPS chip in the Openmoko phones, endorsed Openmoko's publishing<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>the complete schematics for the GPS chip in the Neo FreeRunner phones.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>The schematics now document how the GPS chip is wired into the system, providing vital information for developers who want to leverage the GPS functionality for new designs involving the Openmoko phones.</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">"We fully support Openmoko's decision to publish the schematics of the u-blox GPS receivers," said u-blox CEO, Thomas Seiler. "It is vitally important that developers have access to this data and it improves product quality. Going forward we think that more manufacturers and more consumers will demand open architecture products with optimum performance"</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">"Why should industry be afraid of opening up its design?" asked Openmoko CEO, Sean Moss-Pultz.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>"Schematics are simply another form of documentation and vital to future success, service and satisfaction in the market. We believe our products would be incomplete without them."</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">"One of the freedoms we value the most is the freedom to explore. To fully understand the details of complex systems, to adapt and enhance them," said Openmoko Architect, Werner Almesberger.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>"We now take our commitment to openness to the next level by releasing our schematics to the public, allowing anyone to find out how the system works and how to improve it."</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">The release of the schematics will covered under a Creative Commons license and files will be posted in due course<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>on openmoko.com and openmoko.org</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">Openmoko will show the Neo FreeRunner at LinuxWorld Expo, Moscone Center, San Francisco August 5-7 at booth 1625 and at the LinuxWorld Garage 1234.</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">The Openmoko Neo FreeRunner has been selected as a finalist the LinuxWorld Product Excellence Awards, to be presented at LinuxWorld Conference & Expo® this week in San Francisco. Judged by a group of respected industry experts managed by LinuxWorld.com, the LinuxWorld Product Excellence Awards recognize product and service innovations by LinuxWorld® and NGDC exhibitors in 12 different categories.</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">Open Mobile Free</p>
+<p class="p1">Openmoko frees developers from constraints of closed mobile architectures so they can apply the power of mobility and a flexible development platform to create mobile applications for specialized markets.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Using the Openmoko mobile platform, the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) community and developers can create unique versions of the FreeRunner phone, modifying the way the phone operates and even the way it looks.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>CAD files publicly available under a Creative Commons license make it easy for industrial designers to change the appearance of the Openmoko Neo FreeRunner and select alternate materials and finishes to tailor the phone's look and feel.</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">Distributors in the EU have already received shipments of the Openmoko Neo FreeRunner. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">Pricing and availability</p>
+<p class="p1">The Openmoko Neo FreeRunner has a suggested retail price of $399. Openmoko will restock and sell the phone directly from it its webshop www.Openmoko.com and via distributors in the EU, India and North America.</p>

+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">Openmoko, the leading open source mobile phone maker, launches OpenLab for students at Tsing Hua University; plans to expand curriculum to universities worldwide</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">TAIPEI, TAIWAN - September 15, 2008 -- Renowned National Tsing Hua University of Taiwan has decided Openmoko will be used as a major teaching and researching platform in its curriculum. Openmoko is an open source mobile communications platform that empowers people to customize their phone, much like a computer, in any way they see fit. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">Starting this coming semester students at the university will have the opportunity to work at Openmoko's OpenLab on campus at Tsing Hua.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>The full lesson plans take students from powering on the device to writing complete mobile applications. All content developed during the course as well as the course content itself is released under a creative commons share-alike license.</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">A hub for research and student interaction, OpenLab will enable students to research and work in an electronics environment to develop their own projects based on Openmoko software and hardware,</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">National Tsing Hua University of Taiwan's announcement of this first step in Openmoko education was hailed as the beginning of a welcome trend by teachers and educators. "We're very glad to get Openmoko as our major mobile platform for researching," said Prof. King, from National Tsing Hua University, "we're going to put Openmoko in our school courses for the coming semester."</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">Three of Prof. King's students, who joined Openmoko for a summer internship program, now offer their projects on Google Code for download. The OpenLab will enable more students to actively explore their skills and creativity. "The lab is great, and we have Neo FreeRunner phones right at our students' fingertips," said Jyuo-Min-Shyu, Dean, College of Electronic Engineering and Computer Sciences.</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">The current relationship with Tsing Hua University is definitely just the beginning of a unique and creative period in education. Openmoko, the company that makes open source mobile products, has been venturing into the field of education over the last six months.</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1">Openmoko's motto "Open. Mobile. Free." could soon become the mantra of students as plans to popularize Openmoko education around the country and the world unfold. Prof. King will be working with the groundbreaking company towards this goal.</p>
+<p class="p2"><br></p>
+<p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>"The future of Openmoko rests with the imaginations of developers and innovators, and students are an important part of the Openmoko community.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>We will provide e-courseware to the world in the near future," said Openmoko CEO, Sean Moss-Pultz.</p>
