There is talk about products and about methods. All that discussion on hardware development made it clear that OM needs to increase market or gain share to achieve economies of scale. I can understand that market aspects might not come to the front, but maybe the community could also help here.
From another post I understand that you are also going to niche markets that need custom/open phones, which looks like a sensible approach. But could the GTA02 be made interesting to the general public to be sold together with a telecom subscription? if not, is there a GTA02+ that could do it? I have the impression that people are already using the phones in many different ways. Some do it in obvious ways for them which might not be so obvious to the majority. How about collecting these use cases and see how you can grow the current specific FR market from here, or gain market share from the general phone market.
