Not now, Apple: We've got the Pi-Phone, the smallest mobe network

It's great to see another company doing this kind of thing. We did something very similar with the raspberry pi last year, and published the how to do it in our own youtube vid (google raspberry pi basestation). It turns out that you can do most of this with open source software and a COTS radio.

I would be interested to know what type of radio this is hooked up to - that's where most of the cost is.

Raspberry Pi Programming Competition

We decided to build a GSM basestation with ours. The radio is quite expensive, and it took quite a lot of time, but it's great to see what a slice of humble pi can do... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCcKgrzbix4

We have also been running a competition with some cool entries from kids. Check out our website if you want to see some examples http://www.paconsulting.com/raspberry-pi-competition/

If anyone is interested, next week we are running an awards reception at our tech centre for said competitionto showcase the next generation of geeks! You can register here: http://bitly.com/XGQz51
