The '''Motorola A760''' is a [[Linux]]-based [[cameraphone|camera]] equipped [[mobile telephone]] ('cell phone') developed at [[Motorola]]'s laboratory in [[China]] and released in the Chinese market on February 16, 2003. The particular [[Linux distribution]] used was [[MontaVista Software|MontaVista]] Linux. It is the first phone to use Linux. |

== Technology == |
|||
The A760 is particularly significant in that Motorola was a founding member of the [[Symbian OS]] initiative (a software [[platform (computing)|platform]] competing against Linux, [[Windows Mobile]] and [[Palm OS]] for mobile phones) and in spite of this, used Linux instead of Symbian for the phone. As such the A760 may mark the beginning of the use of Linux on mobile phones. Other newer Motorola phone models which use Linux are the [[Motorola A768|A768]] and the E680, as well as the [[motorola A1200|A1200]]. The A760 is reportedly the world’s first handset combining a Linux Operating System (OS) and [[Java (programming language)|Java]] Technology, with full [[multimedia]] [[portable digital assistant|PDA]] functionality and a built-in camera. |
|||
The phone's user interface was built using [[Trolltech]]'s [[Qtopia|Qtopia Phone Edition]] platform on top of the [[Qt toolkit|Qt/Embedded]] software development framework for [[embedded system]]s. |
|||
== Features == |
|||
The Motorola A760 combines the typical features of a mobile phone with the capabilities of a personal digital assistant (PDA), digital camera, video player, MP3 player, speakerphone, multimedia messaging, instant Internet access, and [[Bluetooth]] wireless technology. Packed into one compact device with a color touch-screen, the Motorola A760 is designed for information management as well as text, entertainment, and, of course voice communication. |
