So it doesn't work as a phone? Yup, sounds like the iPhone. Zing!<p>Seriously though, it seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to hook in a GSM radio and make it into a true phone. Looks like there's a kit at SparkFun (using an ATMega chip, no less) that could be a starting point: <a href="http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8700" rel="nofollow">http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_i...</a>
This looks like a pretty amazing accomplishment, I'm somewhat skeptical of it, especially since the source blog only has 2 posts on it. The technical details are fairly detailed, but I really want to get a look at the code and schematics.<p>Ok, I've done a quick skim of the schematics and code, and it certainly doesn't look like a hoax. I'd have to upgrade my opinion to 'pretty damn impressive!' Good work Peter!
