the labeled devices (ie those providers give away) have a bootloader that checks for signed code -- the signature is proprietary to the provider and not available. thus, these devices are not to be modified. since android does not include hardware drivers, even with a more open bootloader you might be stuck with a device not usable with other software since the drivers won't run and the source is not available. for the g1 there used to be a developer edition be available which allowed to modify everything, which imo sold out rather fast and is not available anymore (except ebay or other second hand channels). there's probably work going on (or finished already) to break the bootloader's check, but where does that leave you once the provider updates the software? _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
