I too regret missing that meeting, I just could not make it.  :-(

I'm looking forward to rev2, but I need to see and hold one of these before 
shelling out that kind of money.  That's why I was so eager to get to the 
meeting.

As far as "work to do" -- I don't care about that.  I want a device that has 
the three radios (GSM, Wifi, BT) I care about, a decent screen and processor, 
and is open.  OpenMoko gives me access to what I need -- right from the 
bootloader to the calculator app -- and the rest I'll figure out.  I'm so 
sick to the teeth with proprietary garbage being shoved up my ass by the 
carriers and the manufacturers.  Give me something I can twist and mangle 
into whatever it is *I* need and I'm there.

The first OpenMoko phones have one of the most craptacular physical designs 
I've ever seen, but maybe a little more research will show me a phone that 
OpenMoko will run on (again, from bootloader to calc app) and will not make 
me cringe at the wasted space.  :-)
