I'm hoping to use it not just for in-car navigation, but also data
readout. I intend to rig it to display voltage and current in my
electric car. I'd like to see someone do that with an iPhone :-P

Peter, your email below is the one I've been trying to write for the

Like you, what got me excited about this project was NOT the possibility
of building better cellphone applications, but rather the possibility of

Yeah, I feel exactly the same way as Wolfgang. Actually I've forward
this email to many of our internal people just to make absolute sure

Your comments seriously made my day.

You cannot believe how hard people at Openmoko work and getting a mail
like yours rewards many of us for 12+ hours working days.
It's a long way, lots of hardware and software bugs, we know it. I

I never had a phone for the last decade.

Hardware choice will always be a compromise. In this case it's largly between
performance, price, size and energy usag
I wouldn't focus on the age of the hardware at all.
The real question is whether this will be a hardware platform that others
will be able to build innovation on top of. With phone companies making
