+Citrine vs. Magnetite
+=====================
+
+The following table lists the major differences between our two current
+FreeCalypso firmware offerings:
+
+Feature				Citrine			Magnetite
+
+Support for Mot/Compal		All 3 subfamilies:	C139/140 only
+targets				C11x/12x, C139/140,
+				C155/156
+
+Source/blob status		Full source		Still has some blobs
+
+Compiler toolchain		gcc			TI's proprietary
+
+GSM MS functionality		Voice and SMS only	Voice, SMS, CSD, fax
+							and GPRS
+
+Overall functionality		Experimental		Production
+and quality
+
+The current main focus in the FreeCalypso family of projects is on producing
+new Calypso-based GSM+GPRS modem products of full commercial quality and
+functionality, hence our primary firmware focus is currently on Magnetite.
+
+Citrine firmware is not currently receiving active new development, but it is
+maintained primarily for the purpose of winning users over from OsmocomBB: the
+limited GSM MS functionality (voice and SMS only) matches our competitor's
+offering, the blob-free status and the use of gcc are expected to be in line
+with the interests of that user population, and all 3 Mot C1xx subfamilies are
+supported.
