Now its out of the bag!!!

Now why would I mention an opensource phone when I'm blogging about Microsoft and ASP.NET? It's simple, the uses Linux as a operating system, but there is also Mone! Mono is a port of Microsofts C# language, where the only big differens is that you are not able to use Windows.Forms framework, but instead you use GTK# when you create your GUI.

This phone now means that you can use your skills in C# to create the applications on the phone. You can do a complete rewrite of all the software on the phone, or just make a couple of applications that you might think could be in handy on your phone.. Now thats news for geeks and wannabees..  For Instance, I have a daugther who is currently four years old, but as she becomes older, she'll be needing a phone, and she'll go to parties... The phone has a built in GPS chip, and 3D Graphic chip... I'm thinking - I write a program using the GPS to moniter where she is when she says that she's sleeping at a freinds house!!! hehe... Okay thats maybe not what I would do, but it has endless possibilities. So get the phone and start making your own phone....
