Neo1973 GTA01 hardware
	SC2410 SoC @ 266MHz
	480x640 LCM, 262k colors
	128MB SDRAM
	128MB SLC NAND (512/16k)
	USB 1.1 device and host (unpowered)
	A-GPS (without processor)
	GSM+GPRS chipset (ARM7 based)
	2 stereo speakers (1.2W)
	CSR4 based Bluetooth

Free Software stack
	bootloader: u-boot current git
	kernel: linux 2.6.20.4
	xserver: kdrive
	glibc
	glib
	gtk+
	libmokoui
	libmokocore
	libgsmd / gsmd

Development Model
	We actively contribute our code upstream
	e.g. kernel goal: make vanilla 2.6.22 kernel have all drivers
	Our build system is public
		Everyone can rebuild everything
			cross-toolchain
			u-boot / kernel image
			application/library packages
		Based on OpenEmbedded (OE)

Hackable Device
	The device shall be under full user control
	Everyone should be able to hack it, at any level
		hardware hacking (i2c, spi, gpio on test pads / connector)
		system-level hacking (bootloader, OS)
		UI level hacking
	Make entry barrier for development as easy as possible
	bootloader prompt via USB serial emulation
	Serial console
	JTAG for the people
	Provide Debug Board with embedded USB JTAG + serial adapter

Standards compliance
	We use open/documented/available standards wherever possible
	Use official USB device firmware upgrade protocol
	Have charger behave 100% to USB spec (100/500mA)
	Use GSM chipset that follows GSM 07.07/07.10 closely

Application Processor GSM integration
	kernel line discipline implementation for GSM 07.10
	userspace GSM daemon with unix domain socket
	libgsmd with API for applications
	lightweight, doesn't have _any_ dependencies aside from glibc
