I like the free phone, what about "the really free phone". I'm not sure beyond amusement if there is a lot of purposefor us trying to figure out how to market the phone to non-geeks. What will really get people to want it is awesome free software that they can install with a few clicks and not have to pay for every little cheezy app someone develops, or huge phone bills for silly ringtones.
But I also wanted to know if everyone was hip to what is happening in congress with "the iphone hearings". Basically some people in Congress were realizing how not having freedom to choose carriers etc was potentially screwing customers if they can only use ATT etc. Check out the Freepress site at http://freetheiphone.org Here is a youtube video with some clips of the congressional debate. I think this is relevant considering that OpenMoko is more than less the free iphone and even if you could choose your carriers, your phone still isn't "free". But it's still interesting to see wireless freedom being debated in congress. Robbt Ryan Prior wrote: I like the tagline "Your phone, your way." The idea is that we are putting the consumer in control - this line may mean different things to a techie and non-techie, but that's okay - it ties in with the spirit of freedom.
