It's worse than that. Someone out there is disrepecting
AT&T and Apple, possibly violating copyright law, certainly
violating trade secrets.
Perhaps there's not much that can be done; it's not that
difficult to read a ROM, after all. Best I can do is to
have the microprocessor swallow the ROM -- which of course
increases the microprocessor's chip size and decreases
the yield of die per wafer.
As for OpenMoko -- the Neo Freerunner is on sale now,
according to www.openmoko.com. Make of it what one will.
The iPhone is clearly superior, in many respects, though
the FreeRunner apparently has a better resolution display
and removable battery, and is based on FOSS, though if
one pokes around Android one runs into issues with part of it.
