Subject: [Canberra-PUG] WiPhone, a phone made for programing in Python
Message-ID: <CALm-KL=d2Kji24sZ7cgkcx4bvDHG7Ab5n9dm2L=H4T9nVkDH-g@mail.gmail.com>

Hey all... I'm making a VoIP mobile phone that runs Python apps. The
firmware will be open. Wanted to share and get the word out.

I wanted a phone that lets hackers do what they want (instead of
trapping you in a walled garden, huge IDE, non-serviceable design,
etc.). The hardware is also meant to be easily expandable: the back of
the phone is a PCB that can be swapped out for custom modules. Sort of
like project Ara, except it's just a PCB. any hobby-level electrical
designer should be able to make their own custom module.
