Hi Michael, Going back to your previous email first:
>Fortunately we have a watchful community to catch our mistakes as quickly as possible! Please continue to let me know if we make such mistakes in the future. Please understand that I wasn't trying to suggest any mistakes had been made, I was just after a little clarification. Really I was hoping that you'd give us some secret extra details ;-) Your goal of keeping the project running on non region/religion/cultural time lines is a laudable one, but I'm so eagerly looking forward to the FreeRunner release that I wanted to know more! My employer is looking to eventually purchase a couple of hundred FreeRunners, and we're all itching to buy a smaller batch for test purposes. We're not so interested in all the features, and aren't worried if we're not going to be buying a consumer ready phone platform; we want to build a tool, and the FreeRunner looks like the best base for it. Having said that, I need to write a paper for an upcoming conference during which I'll be making just that point.
