Keep in mind people, the Freerunner is not the only open- hardware project out there (Pandora, I've got my eyes on you, baby), its just one that has a lot of hype going for it because of the general interest (Apple) towards beefier cell phone computing .. how many times have I looked at iPhone with hungry eyes, goodness .. > Trying to silence and belittle people > who see differently is exactly what should be avoided.
