Linux Devices - Christmas Edition

,----[ Quote ]
| Despite the fact that this is one of the least popular (among non Linux 
| enthusiasts) in the list, I personally would like the Freerunner to keep this 
| spot - the top. The reason is pretty simple: It's the most hackable device 
| among the 10. The thought of being able to customize it, making it truly your 
| own phone, just fascinates me. You may download the source code as well as 
| other references and resources from their wiki site.

Android answers call for free smartphone software

,----[ Quote ]
| Google decided to create a better operating system for mobile phones, just as
| Microsoft’s Windows helps a user to operate a PC. Unlike Windows, however,
| Google’s software for mobiles, called Android, would be free and “open
| source”.
|
| The open source concept has been used in other technological advances ranging
| from web browsers, such as Mozilla’s Firefox, to operating systems, such as
| Linux. It means that programmers and developers can have access to the code
| behind the software, essentially its DNA.

| Rich Miner even went after Apple's handheld darling.  "Once you have devices
| out there from Motorola, HTC, Samsung, and so on, there's a much larger

| single manufacturer, it's targeted at a particular demographic, and it falls
| far short of the 1 billion mobile phones sold every year worldwide."
