That's nice. I simply doubt that they'll be making cell phone purchasing decisions based on that knowledge. "Runs free software" doesn't appear on the checklist of features that the average person is looking for or cares about. That's unlikely to change.
With the recent surge in very restrictive proprietary software - DRM/Treacherous Computing, especially in HD-DVD and BluRay devices like the PS3 and Vista - I think that this is very likely to change. -- Regards, Dave _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
