These days it seems that (many) companies brand their products as "Linux this" and "Linux that" but offer nothing of the freedom that a true Linux product comes along with. So what is it this one then, a phone that just runs linux with a bunch of proprietary firmware crap and no hardware specs, or an open-source software and/or hardware phone? If it the former, it's nothing like the OpenMoko (which is an open-everything project).

I hope more people start making that distinction when it comes to open projects and linux-powered devices.]]>Jan 8th 2008 12:29PM
