Video: Wild Ducks fly with Beagle

1 replies · 1 views · Started 12 February 2010

Wild Ducks is a Symbian Foundation project that aims to demonstrate how the recently open sourced Symbian platform can run on open hardware. The project uses the popular Beagle Board as the main board which, together with a modem and few other components, gives you everything you need to make a phone. This allows anyone to build their own Symbian based phones with off the shelf hardware. Over two videos we talk to Arunabh Ankur to get the details on the project and take a look at the project's hardware running Symbian^2. Read on for more.

Apologies for the added geek excitement in the second video - in my defence it is a very cool project when you start thinking about the possibilities.

Hopefully the videos give you a good flavour of the project.
