Thank you ... okay, I think I see what you are saying, but regrettably, that confuses me even further, so let me rephrase mine (and probably Dirk's) question. Assuming that your aspirations for the phone are to create something that is more than just a tinkertoy for a few systems nerds like me, and that you are hoping to eventually (but in the near future) attract widespread interest from end users fed up with current options, surely you will have to support just a single supported UI and development platform? Even developers of apps will want to code to one UI, one toolkit etc to ensure their apps continue to work with new factory released phones. Unless you really don't aspire to make anything beyond phones for systems techies, you will have to pick just one distro that the phone will ship with, won't you? You surely cannot switch distros from time to time, since your existing user and developer base will expect to see some continuity. So perhaps I can clarify: what distro do you intend to ship with to end users? If it is ASU, and I must wait, thats just fine with me, but your response above seems to contradict that. I'd appreciate your helping us out here since I'm probably not the only one confused ... what am I missing? - VV ==== _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
