Watch these links:

A Pong
Newrotate 0.5 is out, uses really little CPU now.
Valério won the first 24h-coding prize at Sapo Codebits by turning freerunner in a mouse and gamepad using the accelerometers. Code will be merged with ReMoko.
Gtkaddpoi 0.5 : software to add a Point Of Interest to TangoGPS.
neoqplayer 0.1 : codenamed frog. A media player that conserves CPU cycles.
First release of TwitterMoko, a twitter client for openmoko.
ShortOm 0.2 : an application/shell launcher.
openmoko-panel-plugin 0.6 : support for fso frameworkd milestone 4.
Unison works.
OpenMooCow 0.2. Mooes more, runs headless, tickleable.

The official 2008.9 image is back online without the questionable audio codecs.
ASU. 2008.11 is not going to see the light, but at least the bug count is decreasing in the testing build (see testing penultimate and latest reports, where A7 with capacitor is declared good for mess roduction ;). The testing build is the one with all the fixes from optimization team (read their last, previous reports), i.e. about 1 minute boot and Volume control during call.
SHR. newer snapshot available.

For an armband to hold the Freerunner while exercising, Gilles Casse recommends the UMC-3 from Case Logic.
Patrick Beck grafted a light on a miniusb - connector, to make an OpenMoko flash light. More lumens the bright white screen one get with the Flashlight script.
The official fix for buzzing is to add a 100uF capacity here and replace one resistance there. Technical details to be published in an Openmoko rework SOP paper. The company is looking at how to fix *all* devices sold.
The Calypso GSM firmware moko10 was released, it fixes ticket 666 for those users with 3G SIM cards. A few Indiana Jones types did try and follow the wiki instructions to reflash, most with success, some with hubris (def: excessive pride). For the rest of us, a user-friendly installer is being prepared.

Preview upcoming changes to the /sys directory.
Qi gets lots of GTA03 love, audio back and a memory test ability (called when there are no valid kernels).
