This is the developper version. The hardware for the consumer version is a
bit different :
- they added a wifi chip (removing one of the speakers to make room)
- they put in more memory
- the cpu is faster
- there are accelerometers
If I understood it well, 3D graphics are accelerated on both models.

Indeed; this article, while an excellent review of the device, should have made it clearer up at the top that this represented developer preview hardware. It implied that somewhat through the mention of a consumer release, but should have stated that explicitly.
To quote one of the many disclaimers on the OpenMoko site:
WARNING: Developers only! Please note that the OpenMoko products are not meant for the end user and explicitly marked as Developer preview at this time. Read this wiki article to find more technical details of what you can and cannot expect of these devices.

No, only the GTA02 (later model) will have a GPU. Also, not more memory (both models have 128 MB), but more internal flash (64->256 MB, not including µSD).

My bad... I use to include flash memory in memory (as well as ROMs and worse... hard drives)
