OpenStreetMap
I've been making progress with the mapping. I'm still using my OpenMoko phone: Neo1973 and I'm still loving it :)
But now there a beginning to come programs for the Neo which can use the map we all a making. This is just so cool. It's really fun cycling around, navigating the city with a map I've helped create. It makes me proud, and gives me a lot more willpower to just go out only tagging new roads.

Very nice, man ! How did you grab this Neo1973? I would like to get one myself in the future, even though I have a couple other projects stopped, including a Telit GSM+GPS module sitting in my electronics shelf :-(
I'm also developing a Java program to load OSM data on the fly, take a look on my diary for progress...
Cheers,
Diogo

Just for the record if anyone else is looking..
The Neo1973 is sold out right now. But that is okay. It is a developer version, and the final version is almost here. Look at http://wiki.openmoko.org for details.
