[edit] Neo1973 (GTA01)
The Neo1973 was first released in a developer version on July 9 2007, priced at US$300 for the basic model, or US$450 for a kit including more tools for hardware work. It is sold out since February 2008 and will not be produced again.
The initial releases of the Neo1973 have been hampered by supplier shortages, which forced the shipping date to slip, and hardware development difficulties exacerbated by the small size of the core team.[2]
[edit] Neo FreeRunner (GTA02)
The consumer version, which will be more fully featured and is named the Neo FreeRunner, is expected to start shipping in 2008, priced at US$399.[3] A pack of 10 phones will be cheaper, with a price of US$369 per phone.[4] A debug board will be available for US$99.
The Neo FreeRunner will include features that are not present in the development release of the phone (Phase 1).[5] The changes include 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, SMedia 3362 graphics accelerator, two 3D accelerometers, Samsung 2442 SoC, and 256 MB flash.[5]
