That's a nice one: JanOS "Turn your phone into an IoT board"
http://janos.io/

With the amount of obsoleted/unsupported mobile phones growing in our drawers, that could be an interesting idea to re-use them.
And actually it does makes sense, instead of getting e.g. a RasPi + WiFi board + this + that, it can indeed be cheaper to use a mobile phone mainboard that has all those features already built-in.

Even better, do not bother with another OS. Just boot the phone in whatever OS it is already running.

I like this quote:
What about power efficiency? This depends on the mobile phone you use as a base. General idle consumption over 2G is 5 - 10 mA per hour.
(emphasis mine)

Heh, that's what you get when SW engineers start specifying HW
There's actually whole three different concepts all mixed up in just one quote!
