So what this illustrates is that arguing in isolation a question like what kind of touchscreen to use doesn't make sense. It only makes sense in the context of what overall product or goal you're trying to achieve. Apple are good at that - but then it's vastly easier for them because their vision is of a single monoculture everywhere, and they have no interest in encouraging other options. It's much more difficult for Openmoko, because their very point is not to dictate the final product.
