I bit the bullet last thursday and started playing with some of the 2007.2 OpenMoko snapshot images, 2007.2 denoting the next iteration of the software. Whereas my previous photos were from 2007.1, the interface was a bit weak, and wasn't much to be proud of. The direction that the interface is <em>now</em> heading in is not only sleek, but much more usable. One of the most important changes, in my opinion, is the addition of acceleration-incluenced scrolling throughout the interface. The new scrolling allows you to do a quick swipe with your finger and have the interface scroll quickly and then slow to a stop, as if your scroll had momentum behind it.

Overall things are progressing quite nicely, but as a developer I feel that I'm teetering between bricking my OpenMoko phone, and making beautiful music with it, either way, I'm along for the ride. The last picture I'll leave you with is one from when my friend <a href="http://talk.bmc.com/blogs/blog-whurley/whurley/" target="_blank">whurley</a> and I met up this past week since he was in town representing <a href="http://www.bmc.com" target="_blank">BMC</a> at Linux World. whurley was one of the organizers of the first <a href="http://barcamp.org/iPhoneDevCamp" target="_blank">iPhoneDevCamp</a> and is a proud owner of an iPhone, regardless, he thought the OpenMoko phone was pretty cool :)
