Ok so I can understand their reasoning with it being a request for 1st gen iPhones … still dissapointing as the intention is in fact to recycle them into a working cluster …

Ho hum …

That leaves a _LOT_ of 1st gen iPhones that potentially are going to end up on your local dump (landfill) …

Further to the “Green Giant” beowulf cluster project, with the 1st gen iPhone having been cracked open for homebrew multiple times (Hackaday search for Iphone), why not try to re-cycle the 1st gen iPhones into this project as cluster nodes?

I am now looking at places like freecycle to see if I can get hold of any 1st gen’s to do development on … time will tell

But one of the features I have planned should I be able to get hold of a 1st gen or two is using the accelerometer to control the nodes online / offline status …

Anyway all concept and dreams unless one appears.
