Since it's all open source _anyone_ could be a developer, so you're free to buy one. Keep in mind that at this stage there are known bugs in the software, and that many of the apps people take for granted in a consumer phone haven't been written yet. If you plan to develop some of the missing

I would have thought ipkg would make more sense as it's already used by most distros for handhelds, mainly because it has a smaller footprint than dpkg/apt or rpm/yum. There are several GUI frontends to this, but GPE-Package is probably a good starting point as it uses GTK+ already.

Here's a perfect example of why we need open phones - thanks everyone at FIC! Sony-Ericsson have just dropped support for their buggy UIQ3 based phones because the operators are happy with it as it is. Customers don't seem so happy. P990 users may rather like the GTA-02.

I think the reason for using accelerometers not solid state gyros is cost. Sean quoted $3 for accels on the list a while back, while 3 axis gyros with SPI were closer to $20 last I looked, and that was for one that wasn't available yet. Production will ramp up, prices will fall and a future
