For Google, it's a good bargain... they collect new designs of processors for free and for them the fabrication cost (a few thousands $) is like a drop of water in the ocean. This said I doubt this will be a massive production. First there are selective criteria. They will not build anything. It has to be relatively quality design so probably they'll only produce a few dozens per year. Seriously a talented chip designer cannot find $2,000 to manufacture their own prototype?

I'm aware of that... until I can afford a Librem 5, Android phones are really the only viable option, as iOS (Apple) is far worse in terms of user freedom. It does keep Google away from my browsing history, though, even if otherwise it's mainly a symbolic gesture. I get a kick out of how Google tries to warn you that your phone won't work right if you disable Chrome, too... -- Shawn K. Quinn http://www.rantroulette.com http://www.skqrecordquest.com

Granted, I'm not sure I'd trust Google with something like this (I actually disable Google Chrome on my Android phones and use Firefox instead), but at least I can say this without needless anti-Semitic slurs and incorrect implications of connections with a political party from WWII-era Germany. -- Shawn K.
