The creator of this is David Mellis, who is one of the creators of the Arduino project. Apparently he's now in Leah Buechley's group at the Media Lab, which does some great work: http://hlt.media.mit.edu

This is fantastic, and I'm excited to see what more David will be working on in the future; his dissertation will be an interesting one :)



I can't wait either!

I've seen a few DIY projects here and there involving GSM, but his name is what really caught my eye in the first place.

You may also find these interesting:

I'm sure there's room to mix and match improvements.


... all of which have totally locked up, closed off baseband firmware. Which can be controlled all the way down to DMA by OTA updates by a provider.

No, none of this is very interesting at all until there is an open, free baseband firmware.
