Tranzda’s PM328 smartphone does GPS on Linux
Linux is getting ever and ever more play in the mobile space, though the hardware frequently leaves something to be desired in the design department (we’re just playin’, Trolltech — bright green phones are awesome). There’s something starkly attractive about this here PM328 from China’s Tranzda, a smartphone with integrated GPS navigation from u-blox. The device clocks in at a reasonably thin 16 millimeters and runs Tranzda’s own “Newplus” software stack atop a Linux core. Bluetooth and USB are along for the ride, too, though the remainder of the phone’s specs are a bit hazy; just as well, since we’ll never have a shot of seeing this one stateside.[Via LinuxDevices.com]
