Functionality
As of the 2008.08 software revision only the GSM phone module is working reliably; the Freerunner's hardware does not yet have fully functional software interfaces. The software development is split between Qtopia under X11, GTK, FSO, Debian.[6] There are also some derivates of the Openmoko main distribution SHR and FDOM (Fat and Dirty Openmoko).[7] The vanilla Qtopia distribution is recommended by Openmoko for users not wishing to use early development stage software, and FDOM for those who want to test the latest features and fixes without worrying about stability.
It is also possible to run Inferno on OpenMoko Neo FreeRunner.[8]
Android has been patched to run on the OpenMoko Neo FreeRunner by at least two different developers. [9]
OpenWrt can be compiled for the Neo FreeRunner.[10]
In media
The Neo FreeRunner makes an appearance in William Gibson's 2010 novel Zero History, as the phone initially used by the character Milgrim.
