exactly. i couldnt even find whats running on
the fairphone - probably stock closed android.
it could be a selling point for openmoko to
be green (and slaveless) too, though. I've
never heard anyone about it on the list.
Is I already posted earlier on this list, there is already a 'fair'
product, a simple mouse, and it's ready to buy:

A mouse of that simplenes and design is usually given away as goodie if
you are on a fair (exhibition).
The price for the fair mouse starts at 30 EUR with 'upgrade' packages for
a 3rd mousebutton etc...
So the 'fair' production costs are about 10x higher.
Hard to believe that someone buys a phone that costs 3000 EUR,
Seeing this before the background, that geeks like us - which are usually
willing to spent more money than necessary for toys - are unable to
finance Nikolaus GTA project.
