The O2 Joggler is a computing appliance derived from OpenPeak's Openframe 7 product based on:
- an Atom Z520 processor (1.33 GHz with 512KB L2 cache),
- a single-touch capacitive 800x480 touchscreen,
- Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n) which is actually an internally housed USB adapter
- 10/100/1000 Ethernet Cable
- a USB 2.0 host port
- 512 MB RAM
- 1GB flash (partitioned: 64Mb boot, 256Mb OS, 256 OS copy (for factory 'resetting), 450Mb for general storage)
- internal speaker with 3.5mm stereo jack socket
- a metal stand which doubles up as the CPU heat sink, so it cannot be removed
- 4000mA, 5V DC input jack (adaptor supplied)
Its primary purpose is to be a digital home organiser with Internet, calendar and multimedia capabilities. The O2 Joggler's main selling point is a shared calendar application, which is also accessible from any computer with a web browser as well as directly on the Joggler. O2 also provide an SMS client, and a UK mobile-like telephone number so that it can send and receive messages.
It also features an Internet radio powered by Pure, media viewing capabilities, and the ability to send and receive text messages. It also has access to the O2_(United_Kingdom)#Joggler App Store.[1]
It runs a customised Linux Operating System based on Ubuntu (or Moblin v1) with BusyBox, created by OpenPeak and heavily branded by O2. All the applications are written in flash, so in that respect it also resembles a Chumby.
There are a number of web sites devoted to embracing and extending the features of the joggler, covering
- installation of Windows
- adding or replacing the software sources with OpenPeak's to gain access to many more applications
- replacing the custom distributions with a standardise one like Ubuntu netbook remix - this by booting the device off a flash memory device on the USB port (which is does by default when connected)
