(This is a suite to laforge's message on gsmd-devel)
hello,
I'm a little disappointed about laforge's message :(
Made me happy... I'm been a little worried by the expectation to sell
100 of thousand or even millions of units from the start. If they happy
with geek sail then we geeks will get the time... whether it takes a
half year or tree years... to make the OpenMoko platform and apps realy
rock! That increase the likelihood of eventual word domination :-)
While OpenMoko core team have to make a UI and framework good enough for
geeks, that's the main aria where experimentation is needed so it can
evolve into something that really rocks.
Targetting geeks only will never help to make OpenMoko known.
No, not outside the (pretty big) geek scene... but it makes it ready for
being known :-)
One important point is reputation. If openmoko is known to be a geek
phone no one else will get interested in it.
And exactly that will happen if it is pushed to the masses while not
really good enough for the masses. Personally I think we will have
something autumn 2008 or possibly even spring 2008...
