Re: Clarify openmoko != Neo1973
The only problem I have with the openmoko brand is that it clearly wasn't designed to take Spanish language users into account. Moko means booger. The hardened snot you find in some little kids nose. j.

So how could we clarify what Openmoko actually is (a Linux distribution), and what it's not (a smartphone). Even the commercial website of Openmoko (openmoko.com) leaves the impression to me of Openmoko being a smartphone instead of being a Linux distribution *for smartphones like the Neo1973*. Well, at least this is my impression... Best regards, Daniel PS: I guess all these news are from members of this list. So maybe you could add a sentence to all your news?
