For apps, personally (ie, this is just my opinion) I think its fine if
we target providing solid very minmal apps initially, again we can  
point
at the memory on the device (it is stacked with memory), the  
standard X

and libs provided, and its upgradability with package granularity to
convincingly (well it convinces me :-)) say more apps are coming.





It convinces me too, and I'm participating in OpenMoko solely for the  
reason that I want to push out some end-user apps, developed new and  
fresh, for the platform.  When it becomes more widely available, that  
is, I will be quite happy targetting it as a major platform for my  
music apps .. as it stands right now, its very rewarding to be doing  
daily builds that can run on both EEE PC and OpenMoko with very  
little fuss, and it sure is going to be interesting keeping this  
party going for the next few months ..

It's always been option i.  Hence the release of GTA01.  Many apps on
that are still not polished.

It'll be many months after the release of the Freerunner before the
phones are ready for basic end users.

  2) What is OpenMoko's plan to release FreeRunner
  i) release when hardware and kernel are solid and before application 
 software is
  polished.   Community helps to polish software prior to full launch to basic
  end users
  ii) release when both hardware and software are polished.  Will take a little
  longer but will impress journalists more...
