One of the things I would like to say here is that if Openmoko had actually made the OS & hardware work pretty reliably, we might at least be able to program it for such things (protection and what not)
Else it's just a matter of time before all Freerunners are stolen and nothing could be done about that. I wish Openmoko would release a stable version in gta02 than fiddle around with gta03. I suspect they should have done this to the owners of the neo1973 as well. -Karthik On Thu, Dec 11, 2008 at 5:00 PM, Karthik Kumar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I wouldn't worry about the robber coming home and beating you up for a > USB charger at all.
