my experience is different. i didn't try iPhone myself, though. (i
refuse to use anything from a company like apple,) but i know two people
with iPhones and both would not buy one again. biggest problem for them
is that it is a bad phone (bad audio quality) and they lose calls
sometimes because it just does not ring. (never heard of any phone doing
that! ;-) ) second problem is the low resolution. dunno about the
touch, though.

just my 2 cents ...

you will need a rather full blown linux image in any case. for making a
call you need several hardware components (audio, gsm, display, maybe
gps) up and running so you depend on the kernel drivers AND even some
higher level userspace apps anyway. better to optimize the initial
bootup time to a minimum.

my 2 cents

Tilman, i agree to most points you made in this thread, but i think the

everyone can do what he thinks is right. a few years ago i also was one

from man mlock:

mlock() locks pages in the address range starting at addr and
continuing for len  bytes. All  pages that contain a part of the
specified address range are guaranteed to be resi‐ dent in RAM when the
call returns successfully; the pages are guaranteed to stay in  RAM
until later unlocked.

so reading every page seams unnessesary to me.
