PiPhone

This week's been a bit chaotic with so many articles about the *Shell*, but when something excites me, I can't stop. However, today I bring fresh news as every Friday...


  • **BASIC 50th Aniversary:** *Gordon Henderson* alias [@drogon](https://twitter.com/drogon) is one of the largest known in the Pi World. Last Day *April 30* was the 50th anniversary of the popular *BASIC* programming language and *Gordon* updated his interpreter called **RTB** (*Return to BASIC*). All details in [projects.drogon.net](https://projects.drogon.net/rtb/rtb-download-and-install/)

  • **PiPhone, a DIY cellphone:** While I would shame me go out with *Samsung Galaaxy Note* by how big it is, *Dave Hunt* not afraid to create a cellphone with a *Raspberry Pi* with *GSM module* and *2.8"* TFT display. If you want to see the development process visit [davidhunt.ie](http://www.davidhunt.ie/piphone-a-raspberry-pi-based-smartphone/)

  • **Mirror with information:** Well, it's a hacked TV but it is amazing and one of those projects I'd like to build, so *Michael*... Shut up and take my money! [michaelteeuw.nl](http://michaelteeuw.nl/post/80391333672/magic-mirror-part-i-the-idea-the-mirror)

  • **uMotio, 3D gesture control:** A device to control any computer (*Mac, PC, Arduino, RPI*) with gestures. The following video says it all:
