In explaining why it chose to shelve the GTA03, Openmoko mentioned project schedule slippages and the fact that the design was "in constant flux." However, lack of resources in a tough recession appeared to be the final determining factor.

While some of the reasons can be commercial but for an enthusiast like me it was always the impotent hardware. It was just not up to the mark. It was a good concept that ended a tad too soon.

Sad news. But it's their fault. Year after year they didn't make anything usable. However, I really hope illume can be used somewhere else.
