Hi,

I don't think your idea is that bad at all, but it doesn't look like
something that's possible. OpenMoko wants all software on the phone to
be open-source, thus no ad-ware lock-in is possible. It's reversible.
Plus, the phone won't be any cheaper because of this reversibility.

But that's just my €0,01474 (wow, the exchange rate is nice these days).
Greetz,
Luit

Hi,

Given the power of Google and Madison Ave, it would seem that people
are weak and cheap...  How about a Minority Report type of advertising
on the phone using the GPS data?  This could even be payed based on
proximity (bonus when the ad worked).  This could be a way to get
advertising dollars (euros, etc) to help reduce the price of the phone
even more.  My gut says that this idea is evil; my instinct tells me
that getting big business behind our open phone could really help...

Let the flames begin.  I know I deserve it.  Just remember that I
meant well.  (and I do know how the road to hell is paved).

Thanks,

Vlad
