 Open source fans: OpenMoko has finally announced the availability of its Neo FreeRunner handset. The Linux-based handset will, fittingly, be available to consumers in the US on July 4th.
The Neo FreeRunner features WiFi, aGPS, Bluetooth 2.0, and comes in two different tri-band GSM versions, according to MobileBurn. The Handset also features a 2.8-inch VGA touchscreen, two 3-axis motion sensors, and 128MB WSDRAM/256MB NAND flash. Of course the big news here is the aforementioned fact that the phone is entirely open-source, a big win for all of the Linux fans who are tired of dealing with wireless carrier-imposed handset lockdowns.
The Neo FreeRunner will run for a suggested $399, and will be available in North America, Europe, and India.

Neopwn: The World's First Pentesting Mobile Phone
What do you get when you cross BackTrack Linux apps with a mobile phone? This is the first ever publically available mobile phone, running a full custom Linux network auditing distribution; and it runs it suprisingly well. One can literally go from phone to pwn in 2 seconds.
Based off of the Openmoko Neo Freerunner, many steps have been taken to compensate from the lack of a QWERTY keyboard with automation scripts, dialogs, and a point and pwn menu. It runs applications such as Metasploit and the Aircrack suite quite well, especially given the fact that it supports a wide array of USB WLAN cards.
More information on the platform that was released yesterday can be found at neopwn.com
