So everyone always gets asked, "who is your service provider for your 770". Doh!
It's not a phone....or is it!?!
Another device, the
Gumstix
, like toying with along with the 770, and that is also a Linux 2.6.x device, and that also uses an ARM processor (xscale pxa270) is announcing a GSM/GPRS and GPS set of Daughterboards. However the interesting thing is they say it uses a USB connection to hook it to the Gumstix, and that it needs to be in HostMode.
So I'm thinking can we hook this onto the 770 USB port in hostmode and using a GPRS connection have my GTalk with me even when I'm not on WiFi. And if the audio can be hooked up, maybe just use standard GSM voice, saving data for surfing.
Okay all you other IEE Hackers, let's get this thing working on the 770.
Here's a link to the annoucement:
