This puts me in mind of "this is the house that jack built":
This is the phone that you built.
This is the OS running on the phone that you built.
This is the browser running on the OS on the phone that you built...
Not sure if that's what you were referring to, as I haven't seen the
ads in quest
I believe the real issue is that retooling (changing the phone
enclosure) is extremely expensive. So it's not adding the connector,
it's modifying the case to fit.
Also, do we know that they're modifying the motherboard to add extra
features for the public release, or are there simply spaces left
that
isn't as hard as you might think. The main problem would be that
you're not going to have GPS reception indoors, so you won't
neccessarially know when you're entering a cinema. :)

I've yet to see an AJAX app that you can load entirely locally, so the
criticism still applies. Besides, the point of nearly all AJAX apps is
as a frontend for some server-connected service or another -

Why not upload it to Amazon S3 and use that as a seed? The costs
should be minimal if it's just used to seed BitTorrent, and it's a lot
easier than doing it yourself.
