I could butter it up but it comes down to this: OpenMoko is disorganized but Google is Evil. In particular, the Android license <http://code.google.com/android/terms.html> does not sit well with me: """ 9.3 Google may at any time, terminate this License Agreement with you if: [...] (C) the partner with whom Google offered certain parts of SDK (such as APIs) to you has terminated its relationship with Google or ceased to offer certain parts of the SDK to you; or (D) Google decides to no longer providing the SDK or certain parts of the SDK to users in the country in which you are resident or from which you use the service, or the provision of the SDK or certain SDK services to you by Google is, in Google's sole discretion, no longer commercially viable.
