Hey! I am a Hungarian exchange student right now and I think I could help you by sending in a couple articles about OpenMoko to some Hungarian tech papers. Hungary (in general) is very opened to Linux (go to Google Trends and search for Linux) and it has got a strong Un*x like OS lover community. Hungary could be a strong market of OpenMoko. If you have any existing articles, I could translate it into hungarian and put it into press. Also I am just about to start a Hungarian OpenMoko Community site. :)

Regardless of where the hardware and software are right now, I would imagine that they both will be further along come release date. But, outside of this community and the few people that remember us telling them about the FIC Neo1973 and the OpenMoko platform, who knows about this phone or platform? Slashdot and NYTimes and many other sites have articles about the Apple iPhone, but very rarely is the Neo1973 mentioned. We, the OpenMoko community, are interested in these articles too (I would imagine), and yet no one ever posts a comment about the Neo1973 (except me, it seems). If we don't get the mainstream press to write about the Neo1973, we (or FIC) are going to have a difficult time selling devices and getting out there. If they (press) won't write about the Neo1973, the least we can do is mention the Neo1973 in the reader comments, with a link to the wiki. Here is one such article from just this weekend. The iPhone will be getting a lot of coverage, and as different as the two philosophies may be, the average person on the street will see the two phones as very similar. If we have a great feature comparison, why not let people know?? http://news.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/06/03/fever-builds-for-iphone-anxiety-too/ I hope that we can start to create some buzz about this product! Being open, being able to work with multiple service providers, being unlocked, being cheaper, being higher-resolution... all of these are benefits that we must PROMOTE. The quicker we can post on an article, the higher on the Comments list we will be and the more reads that comment will get. No one reads Comment #154267.... Thoughts? -- start using Free software http://www.linux.org http://www.fsf.org It's a matter of Liberty not Price: "Free Software exists to free you from the artificial constraints set by Apple and Microsoft. Free software is Unrestricted software. Get Free." _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
