Apple puts refurbished iPhones on sale

| The handsets presumably come from the stock of devices returned by original

Google Using OpenMoko For gPhone?

,----[ Quote ]
| A friendly penguin has told us at Phoronix that Google is looking to team up 
| with OpenMoko for their "gPhone". Google will not be using the FIC Neo1973 
| GTA01, but they will be bringing the open-source OpenMoko platform to their 
| own hardware, which looks to be manufactured through HTC, and making a few 
| changes along the way.

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