Somehow I don't think that 'the OS/ browser/ app that you built' will excite anyone except linux-guru's. ;-) (it would scare me away...) Take a look at some of the N95 vs iPhone spoofs on youtube. Some of them are really good: Battery replacement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1-8DpRNGNE&mode=related&search= Internet: (This one is good since Jobs has convinced a lot of people that only the iPhone has the 'real' Internet.whatever that may be.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwrE5UCUf7s&NR=1 Google Maps/ GPS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GecftG1Kh7w&NR=1 The scenario I like is also about the freedom to write applications, but from a user/consumer point of view: Moko: Hi, I'm an OpenMoko phone iPhone: And I'm an iPhone * OpenMoko looks is busy tapping on his phone. iPhone: What are you doing?
