It seems clear to me that someone in authority at Openmoko is trying to make a smartphone, without regard to the fact that probably 95% of sales to date are to developers who want to help MAKE that smartphone plus potentially much more, but have requirements which that authority is ignoring. (IE, they want pocket computer functionality, ready access to extensive configuration options, and - oh yeah, a usable keyboard that doesn't vanish at random) This falls under the heading "how to kill a great product". I predict that if Openmoko fails, it will be due to abandonment by thousands of developers frustrated with narrowminded corporate decisions imposing intolerable limits. WTF - is their concept of 'Open' one where if we don't like their impositions that we should flash to Debian and abandon any development efforts for the 'official' distro?? If they don't want the developer community, I'm sure it will go away with just a little more effort. j _______________________________________________ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
