I see OpenMoko as lower level than Android. Users can give feedback
into the very core of the hardware & software. I expect to someday see
Android applications integrated into OpenMoko. Android appears to be
just a virtual machine sandbox that sits on top of a Linux core. I
don't see most Android based phones makers willingly giving access
outside of the Android API and runtime or taking user feedback seriously.
My question is why doesn't Google release the Android runtime & API in a
form that can be easily integrated and run on OpenMoko or any other
Linux? It's just built on top of a linux kernel & a bunch of standard
libs. Someone please ask that for me.

Good question, Jeffrey, and you suggest a question that I'd like to
ask you, the community:
Why do you chose to develop on OpenMoko, rather than on Android? Or do
you do both?
(Beside the lack of Android hardware)

Google people's response to
why they felt the need to start a competitive project rather than join
the OpenMoko team.
Michael, as an official in the OpenMoko community, I wouldn't expect
you to ask this,
but if someone else is in attendance, raise the question and report
back to us!
