Yes, but Trolltech's marketing force and some early reviews indicate that
Google will have more potential than OpenMoko and Greephone combined.
Development alone involved an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.
It's not fair, of course, but it's likely that G-Phone and iPhone will go head
to head. What's baffling is Schmidt's obsession with the iPhone and membership
at Apple (board members). It has "conflicting interests" written all over it.
