If the phone-end software is open, it'd be hackable to not display anything but say it did. If it weren't, I doubt the Moko team would be willing to put it into the base system (proprietary GPS driver notwithstanding), especially what with the disclosure of location data to the ad server. And still it could be removed at will or even reverse-engineered for the same purpose as an open one would be modified. In short, yes, this is evil, but considering the open nature of the phone, I doubt many marketing people would pay a lot for their ads on this sort of a platform. -- Mikko Rauhala - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - <URL:http://www.iki.fi/mjr/> Transhumanist - WTA member - <URL:http://www.transhumanism.org/> Singularitarian - SIAI supporter - <URL:http://www.singinst.org/> _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
