Neopwn, the World's First Pentesting Mobile Phone 103
thefanboy writes "What do you get when you cross BackTrack Linux apps with a mobile phone? This is the first ever publicly available mobile phone running a full custom Linux network auditing distribution, and it runs it surprisingly well. One can literally go from phone to pwn in 2 seconds. Based off of the Openmoko Neo Freerunner, many steps have been taken to compensate for the lack of a QWERTY keyboard with automation scripts, dialogs, and a point-and-pwn menu. It runs applications such as Metasploit and the Aircrack suite quite well, especially given the fact that it supports a wide array of USB WLAN cards."

Neologism, not neoterm. The word you were looking for already conveniently exists.

Contrary to popular belief, they don't need to provide the source code to the public if they wish to abide to the GPL, they only need to provide it to those they have provided with the software (or the phone, in this case).

on their site the cheapest option is $80... with a SD card and dvd thrown in but again no source code download available...
It didn't occur to you that the source code of the GPl'ed components could be on the DVD or SD card?
What on earth makes you think that they have to provide downloads of their software?
