Manufactured by OpenPeak and based on their OpenFrame product,[1] the Joggler's main selling point was its shared calendar application and was aimed at organising family life.

The low cost, combined with the high quality components and dissatisfaction in the software, has fostered a hacker community, and there are now a number of new applications and operating systems available for the device.

[9][10] During April and May 2012, users running the official operating system received a 'sunset update' which removed all O2 branded applications - including the internet radio, the shared calendar, the ability to send text messages, and two more of the six reasons O2 originally gave to buy one - but expanded the number of installed apps.

[11] The Joggler shares many external similarities with a digital photo frame, consisting of a 7" screen with black border, dark grey plastic rear shell, integral rubber foot and chromed stand.

A small window for the ambient light sensor is centred on the top of the rear shell, while the underside and remainder of the back feature ventilation holes.
