You are right and that is my point. The other bits around about big companies with money doing propietary stuff is off topic; since the original thread mail was intended to talk about community projects which learn the proper software/hardware development processes needed for an open mobile phone, no about who is going to do a product for the 95% of the market and which is that product. Sorry for my english guys, maybe I did not explain the idea very well.
