STMicroelectronics, a semiconductor company and a supplier of MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) motion-sensing chips, has announced that its LIS302DL 3-axis accelerometer is being used by Openmoko to provide motion-sensing functions in Openmoko’s Neo Freerunner LINUX-based mobile open platform.

Openmoko is a project dedicated to delivering mobile phones with an open source software stack. The company is currently selling the Neo Freerunner phone to advanced users and application developers.

The Neo Freerunner is a GSM tri-band mobile phone with a VGA touch screen, 2D/3D graphics acceleration, 256 Mbytes of NAND Flash memory, Wi-fi, AGPS, and Bluetooth 2.0, as well as 3-axis motion sensing.
