Indeed, people want features, not only ideology. The ideology part is a great aspect for free software advocates, but is a mainstream consumer aware of it, would he care at first sight ? No; a lot of people buy fair trade coffee if it has a good taste (apart of the little taste of freedom :p).
I mean, a neo looks like a great device, but so far it's mainly a regular "smartphone"; if the project continues to improve, one day the neo will do what linux is best at: full network integration (fuse filesystems are a good example i think), disruptive ideas (we'll soon have hardware-accelerated graphics, a GPS, as well as accelerators... plenty of room for work and innovation in the UI part ! ), and fun, human applications. But it's not for tomorrow... _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
