OpenMoko, the spin-off from FIC, is getting geared up to start making their move into the consumer space with their Neo open source handset. Their PR people have sent me details regarding 5 groups who will be taking deliveries of handsets. They are Pulster, Golden Delicious Computers and TRIsoft located in Germany, Bearstech in France and IDA Systems based in India. The handsets, when available, will be sold directly via OpenMoko and through distributors in Europe and India. Pricing is currently set at US$399, but will likely come down as carriers start picking it up and it gets upgrades to its hardware. The Dojo is rooting for the OpenMoko team!
