They do not sell or share the code unless you buy their hardware!

I am working with HTC ( the OEM maker for Wallaby) to get a device with Linux in it or at least the ROM with the US RIL( radio stack layers) for US.

I have seen a device with it running and it is Great!
NTT DOCOMO is making a call to open source OS in all their devices! So there will be some interesting developments in this area!

I e-mailed those MIZI guys... they probably don't have anything for us now, but notice, they sell some version of the OS for ipaq's on handango. So, obviously they do market their software.

If they get enough inquiries, they may be persuaded to implement something for us poor lost souls?

Ask them!!!! It's like voting, together we can affect them, most likely. :)

Hi... just a matter of interest, what do you mean by you're "working with HTC to get a device with Linux in it?"

As a few people including me are working on porting Linux onto the XDA, is there anything that might help us? :wink:

emailing and maybe calling is the best thing you can do.

Technically, this is a club. I ran a car club for 2 years (www.2gstratus.org if anyone is wondering, i created it, then sold it)

in our situations, we werent looking for operating system, gps or what ever, but we were looking for big ticket items (super chargers, body kits, etc...)

members emailed, called, what ever, and eventually, companys that normally would over look us, eventually began to develope $3000+ products for us

the more interest, the better ur chances.

there is a linux distrobution out there. friendlylinux.com i think

its form ARM. more specifically, the ipaqs

i had tried to install a version of it on my viewsonic v35, but it didnt work, the bootblaster kept crashing on me.

thats all i know

Here's what the Mizi guy had to say (somebody more technical than me please convince him that it's a great idea to make this thing work on the XDA):

Hello Rene,


My product doesn't currently support T-mobile with following reasons;

- To support a certain target, it requires lots of engineerings as for a
commercial level.
- To support a certain target, it requres detailed HW information.


I love to support Tmobile however the chance isn't come yet :-)
