OpenMoko on PalmTX
,----[ Quote ]
| One problem is OpenMoko is based on GTK, so it will need more than 32MB
| RAM (the phone has 128MB). Another problem is the screen size: 640x480,
| so everything looks a bit too large. I was able to scale the interface
| down to 480x320, but there still were some elements not to fit the
| PalmTX's display.

Forget iPhone, hail OpenMoko, the true revolution
,----[ Quote ]
| ...I would rather wait for OpenMoko to become available for purchase
| than shell out high bucks for iPhone. Just like with any Apple
| product, it is like an awesome looking golden cage. I always
| preferred freedom to control my own digital devices than to be
| mostly dependent on one vendor for everything.

How secure are Linux, Window and Mac OS?
,----[ Quote ]
| Overall it looks like the Linux kernel turns out to be the most
| secure system. Not only does it have virtually no security holes
| that lead to system access, it's also very resilient to remote
| attacks, two areas where both Windows and Mac OS X aren't doing
| very well.

Apple iPhone issue highlights security debate

IPhone Contract Is Long and Legally Murky
,----[ Quote ]
| The bad news: The iPhone contract may not be the last word in overly long and

| are creating a free unlocked device from the start, and a whole software
| framework to go with it.
