exactly thats the culprit. someone might get an "Android" phone thinking that its open and he could tinker with as hi likes, just to find out the vendor locked it down with an cryptographic bootloader and software killswitch. Android is marketed as an open plattform but this must be understood as open for the implementor, not neccesarily open for the enduser. but of course this depends entierly on the phonevender and has nothing to do with android on the NEO which can only be a good thing to have. regards ... clemens _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
