Sure, it's a developer phone, and is marketed as such, but what they don't tell you is what kind of developer. When I got mine 6 months ago, I took that to mean applications, not "everything about this needs massive help".
I think one of the pitfalls for OM was trying to put everything out at once, instead of systematically selecting and stabilizing a kernel, then get the underlying system working, and finally get the UI and useable applications. Now I haven't tried all the distros out there, but from the chatter I read on the maillists, it seems that each are shooting for that moving target in continuing the "all at once" approach, and predictably coming up short. Don't get me wrong, I love my Freerunner, and it's my daily/only phone (Hackable:1and SHR). I just wish I could spend more time working on applications than messing around with little fixes, rebooting, and waiting for something reasonably stable to develop for. :) On Jun 22, 2009, at 10:05 PM, David Ford wrote: > this phone is marketed as a developer's phone, and all the websites > related to this phone all have (or should have) discussion largely > surrounding this. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
