Because it's cool to be a member of this great community.

  ...in other words, it *is* intended strictly as a developer's plaything,

 I completely agree with this strictly because of the battery life on the
  gta01.  If they ever had any intention of this being mass produced, they
  would have got most of the hardware right the first time, and at least
  tested the basic functionality.

Do you understand the simple difference between gta01 and gta02? Gta01
was *never* meant to be a consumer device. They're talking about gta02
here.

 I bought a gta01 because I thought it
  would be fun to write software for.  However the one thing that has got me
  since day 1 is the battery life.

Why do you need a good battery life to develop software? Are you used
to write software outdoors? Just plug in your charger's cable. Unless
you didn't read that big, red warning when you were buying your
customer-ready gta01.

 I try to explain:
  OpenMoko team is try to follow a project: they are not a firm like Nokia
  or Motorola.

Oh they are very much like Nokia or Motorola. Like Nokia or Motorola
they respect their customers and don't want to make them pay for crap.
People who don't understand it apparently like crap.

I suggest to stop the discussion with Mark. He hasn't got a slightest
idea about software/hardware development and business. And I'm not
talking only about risking money by selling untested, possibly faulty
hardware. I'm also talking about risking business suicide when you
lose trust of customers. This should be so easy to understand for
every intelligent man.

 I was not speaking about this aspect. About this aspect I think they are
 better, but I was speaking about firm dimensions.

Yes, you point is very valid. There are some important differences
like experience, existing product base and number of employees but
generally they have very much in common.
