I made a mount using polymorph

And I think there is a lot of space for a Freerunner open pad based if
we talk about cutomers if you fix the already known bugs. Museums, cars,
schools, etc, etc, etc. This is about project customers, right?

I'd worry a lot more about GUI and applications than about any bit
of hardware.
Agreed, and iPad imitators are probably going to discover once again that
software is a
very important component that can not be copied as easily

when the time for selling on open software alone will come depends

The joy of the Open Design Hardware concept - anyone can design their
own mutant :)
There's a huge market for the big touchscreen devices.
Let's see how

I'd worry a lot more about GUI and applications than about any bit
of hardware. Pads in one form or another have been around for a
long time. So far, they weren't particularly
indirect benefits they get.
For now, I'll be happy with the niche of project customers who need
to tweak the hardware or who already understand why they cannot
afford a closed system.
That said, such a phone wouldn't have to be free from appeal to the
mass market. It should definitely be as attractive

in this regard, Open Design Hardware helps: you still don't get
anything like this from the now open players.
And from what I've heard and keep on hearing, there are lots of project
customers who want to modify the hardware. They often also have the

Not to misunderstand, the game opensource is just starting.
if you need to, remember Openmoko as a early hero.
Here I completely agree with you, Christoph.
I personally don't see the FR as a fail. It's more like a
of individual engineers.
So the product would live as long as there's enough interest in
seeing it live, much as it is with Open Source software.
Also, if we consider project customers, many of them have needs
