Well, with necessary funding Goldelico would be mass producing a GTA17 this year which would beat the latest iPhones and alike in quality, user-experience, functionality and openness. If we get enough funding, we can even get proper FCC/CE certification and modify the standards so that a free&open modem can be certified. It is all just a matter of getting a big enough budget... Unfortunately, free&open is contradicting big-budget. Like Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. > I shall keep spreading > this message far and wide until it reaches the ears of someone who > sees the idea as a positive and who has the needed money. In that case, please convince him/her to spend money for more important things. Like fighting diseases (incl. dictatorship and nationalism) and rescuing endangered species (like homo sapiens). _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
