A major new version of the OpenMoko Software has just been released. The OM 2007.2 version announced here, includes a large number of user interface changes and application redesigns.

First up much has been done to make the phone software much more finger friendly and easier to use. It also includes a reworked UI, a lighter theme, removes the awkward “scroll wheel” function and it introduces a new Today application (a la Windows Mobile) which shows events from calendar, missed calls, tasks and allows apps to hook into it.

Sean Moss-Pultz says… “the new interface is still, very much, a work in progress. This is the earliest possible stage than we can release something with enough of a framework for you all to start exploring. It’s a huge advancement in balancing simplicity with it’s digital antagonist — complexity.”
