Extends Mobile Phone to Power Next-Generation Dash GPS

TAIPEI, Taiwan--(Business Wire)--OpenMoko and parent company FIC today announced a partnership with
Dash Navigation, Inc. revealing that the Dash Express, the first
Internet-connected GPS device for the consumer market, runs on the Neo
mobile hardware and software platform. The partnership with Dash to
build the Express device marks OpenMoko's first foray into the GPS
market, and represents commercial validation of the company's mobile
platform vision. The Dash Express is now available for pre-order
directly from Dash Navigation.

   On the heels of the successful launch of the Neo 1973, the world's
first totally open FOSS mobile platform, the innovative Dash Express
breaks ground as the first consumer electronics device based on the
OpenMoko GTA0X reference design. Dash Express features applications
developed by Dash Navigation and uses the OpenMoko kernel and
bootloader. The GPS hardware was jointly designed to Dash's
specifications by OpenMoko and FIC Mobility, who will manufacture the
device.

   "We always saw the Neo 1973 as more than a mobile phone; it's the
harbinger of the coming generation of open mobile devices aimed at the
Web2.0 social networking market," said Sean Moss-Pultz, CEO of
OpenMoko. "We knew if we could free the phone, others would
springboard from that and build revolutionary products. Dash seized
the opportunity, improved the Neo hardware and OpenMoko Linux
platform, and built a revolutionary product that will disrupt the
mobile GPS market."

   Dash marks a new kind of ODM relationship that enables companies
to more easily create consumer products based on open hardware
specifications and GPL licensing. OpenMoko officials predict this will
enable more derivations of the Neo platform to enter the commercial
market.

   "Dash's support of open standards allows consumers to get the
content they want into their cars," said Rob Currie, president and
COO, Dash Navigation. "OpenMoko and FIC are technology leaders that
have been great partners for us, and they continue to be important
contributors to the development of diverse and accessible consumer
mobile applications."

   The Dash Express is now available for pre-order at the company's
website ( www.dash.net). The device is priced at $599.99 and
includes three free months of Dash Service(1). The Dash Express will
begin shipping in mid-to-late February directly from www.dash.net
followed by broader retail distribution in Q2 2008.

   OpenMoko and Dash will be featured at the press-only innovator
showcase during CES, Lunch @ Piero's. The next generation of the Neo
hardware platform will be announced shortly.
