This situation surprises me.
There is some lack of clarity about the thinking behind open source
smart phone models due out soon.
If Linux were to be deployed and the desktop of the device is made
skinnable with a variety of common Linux X desktops and applications, then
all the other Linux applications become instantly available and the phone's
desktop and more developers could rush in to contribute more applications.
By making that process convoluted, all it does is damage
the revenue streams of the phone companies and
the companies making the smartphones.
