IIRC the neo came about because a company went to FIC and asked them to build a prototype device (purpose unknown) but never went ahead with the idea, so FIC had this design and Sean Moss-pultz suggested to management that they could sell it as a completly open linux phone. I could, of course, be completly wrong _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
