OpenMoko [Linux-based] makes total sense
,----[ Quote ]
| Open Source for mobile phones is not just cool, but necessary.
|
| Why do I say that? Because it stands to reason. First, "smart"
| phones and similar ones with PDA functionality cost a lot. You
| obviously want to be able to keep it going for a few years at
| least, and not dump that $1,500-$2,000 device simply because
| there's no choice.
