Some time ago on 2008, I asked on the fsf's IRC channel about how free was
the Open Pandora, but for some reasons I can't remember it seems I never
shared with you guys.
This is the device I'm talking you about:

Matt Lee is the name of the FSF representative that help me out back then.
This is his last email I got from him:
"Hey, I remember you :)
Since then we've spoken to the developers, and Craig got quite heated on
his forum. Basically, it has a lot of firmware blobs and there's little
effort being done to fix some of them.

Back then I was hopping to support a free software developing device, and
ended up losing interest on the Open Pandora for that reason. Now days I
believe that the best option today is to support the replicant project, since
in my opinion, a cellphone or a tablet with a joystick would do the same
things an Open Pandora would, and replicant's goal is free software, unlike
the Open Pandora and its community.
The subject came back to me from this forum thread
https://trisquel.info/es/forum/libre-cell-phones-and-tablets and I made some
other comments about the matter over there in case some one is interested :)
See you all.
