-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 "Making Jobs' bet even more dangerous is the fact that we're about to see a whole raft of devices coming out that could give the iPhone 3G real competition. Google's open-source operating system for mobile phones, Android, is just about ready to be shown off in many handsets, from makers such as HTC, Motorola, Samsung and LG Electronics. You can bet that many of those phones will be way cheaper than $199. "
http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1813117,00.html?xid=rss-topstories OpenSource cell phones - the marketing implications of this is AWESOME! Even if Ubuntu is not involved in the software for these phones, every one who gets a FOSS cell phone is a PRIME prospect for a FOSS desktop. Maybe there is some way we can get a list of people who buy these cell phones and send them a mail survey about how they like the FOSS on their phone Every positive response could be sent an Ubuntu disk with a printed, easy-to-read installation guide and then get a follow-up call from the nearest LoCo offering installation assistance The Borg [Microsoft] has a major chink in its armor! And we need to be prepared to exploit it. A marketing team project???? I think it's worth doing and am willing to take it on Peace!
