Lunch@ Events - Trade Show Press and Innovator Events

Openmoko Inc, maker of the world’s first totally open mobile phone, will unveil the latest additions to its worldwide network bringing up to 50 the number of distributors covering North America, Europe and Asia. During CES Openmoko will also showcase distributions that run on the FreeRunner mobile phone.
“Openmoko continues to expand its reach, giving developers a choice of operating systems for their mobile applications, and proving the FreeRunner as the hardware of choice for developers focused on building and maintaining distributions,” said Openmoko Vice President of Marketing, Steve Mosher.

Openmoko will demonstrate several distributions for the mobile hardware platform including the ever popular Debian, community-driven FDOM, QT by Trolltech (recently acquired by Nokia) and Android. 

Since successful launch of the Openmoko FreeRunner July 2008, the company has seen expanding hardware deployment with traction in unforeseen markets including some where the mobile computing capabilities of the FreeRunner are taking precedence over its telephony functions. These verticals include medical, industrial and military markets. Openmoko will provide more information about these markets and demonstrations of selected applications during CES at the Lunch@Piero’s press-only event January 8 and 9, 2009.
