i think and hope, the moko-project would be also alive if they didn't produce 
a new device..

i belive, there are possibilitys, as example gizmo for you 
(http://www.gizmoforyou.com/e107_plugins/wrap/wrap.php?3)..

they also created something like a mobilephone (no case, this must be done by 
the consumer :p 
http://www.gizmoforyou.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_infocPath=3_8products_id=29)
 
so it's possible to use open smartphones in future too :)

the hope died at last ;)

  a lot of dust that has to settle, and not all of the consequences

we are very much alive and well -- That's official. Thanks for caring
is this MokoSarcasm?
According to Whoiswho on the wiki almost everybody got laid off.
Is the design team behind the layoffs? Are you part of the design team that
took our raster already?
If it's true then there is no more kernel support, no more software
releases. How about customer support?

Who is alive and well? The design team that cannot even design a simple
functioning phone UI? Is your statement the only official statement we will
hear for how long?
Please don't tell me that everybody who ever did anything good for the

I always thought that people being laid off is a sign that the company is
trying to stay in business. A sign of a company going down is (where I come
from) sad gentlemen coming to the office and taking out the computers.

Speculating in this thread is not really helping them at the moment, so just
stop it.

 chose to do so over shutting everything down.  Please try to see things from
 that perspective instead of siding with the more negative aspects.
  Tomorrow, what remains of us, will go to work and continue to deliver solid
 FR hardware, provide re-work solutions and run servers for our customers.
  If you feel that is not enough than please jump in and get your hands
 dirty.  The idea of an open phone started out as a revolution -- now pick up
 your sticks and fight if you want it to happen.


 Hurrah! *That's* the spirit!

I have to admit it's a little funny that the one customer who bothers to 
rock up, does so right at the 'perfect' time :)

People, this project has always been fueled by passion, I doubt any of 
the effects are anything other than long term. Just keep doing what you 
are doing, nothing is going to change over night. You should know that 
by now ;)

I'd say your timing was perfect. Your eyes did not betray you, but
it's still too early to draw too many conclusions from what you saw.

I think it may take a few days before there will be any official
information from Openmoko. This is all brand-new and there's still
a lot of dust that has to settle, and not all of the consequences
may be for the worse.

So, no need to panic quite yet :)

All the best for your future, Openmoko would not have been possible
without you. You have opened new horizions and I am sure the future
will prove the concept was right but ahead of its time...

I do too. I'm very sad, but the freerunner is open, so we can still do a
lot with it.
