Forget iPhone, hail OpenMoko, the true revolution
,----[ Quote ]
| ...I would rather wait for OpenMoko to become available for purchase

| 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.

A Zune Phone? Hah, What a Joke!
,----[ Quote ]
| You see, I find this to be quite amusing. Here Microsoft is reportedly
| in the beginning stages of creating their own version of a Zunes
| martphone, but it's already being speculated that Windows Mobile won't
| make an appearance even though it already contains the functions that
| a smartphone would need. I get the fact that a Zune phone will
| probably be targeted to an audience that doesn?t necessarily want
| to get caught up in all of the nitty gritty functions of a
| smartphone, but if Microsoft doesn?t use its own mobile operating
| system on its own mobile device, then how are we supposed to take
| Windows Mobile seriously?

| more revolutionary 770 Internet tablet from which it evolved.
