Future Linux-based iPhone

| Now, one can only wonder how soon these Linux-based devices will hit the
| market. I am still hoping that these is one such device that will compete
| against the iPhone head-to-head but has an open architecture.

Meanwhile, Microsoft has recognised that Windows is too 'fat' (it works on
making the kernel leaner) and that mobile devices are the future. Too little,
too late. Even Intel's CEO appears to have given up, despite his fear of
the "wrath of Microsoft".

China's iClone

| The little gadget was bootleg gold, a secret treasure I'd spent months
| tracking down. The miniOne looked just like Apple's iPhone, down to the slick
| no-button interface. But it was more. It ran popular mobile software that the
| iPhone wouldn't. It worked with nearly every worldwide cellphone carrier, not
| just AT&T, and not only in the U.S. It promised to cost half as much as the
| iPhone and be available to 10 times as many consumers.
