Open Source Re-writes the Rules for Mobile 

,----[ Quote ]
| This was simply not possible with older, 
| proprietary mobile operating systems, because 
| you couldn't hack them to work on different 
| hardware. With Android, that all changes, 
| opening up a whole new world of mobile re-use. 
| As the same post rightly points out:
| 
|     This story shows me once again how 
|     important Android is to the mobile OS 
|     space. The idea of taking older phones and 
|     using a free, powerful OS to breath new 
|     life into them is the promise of open 
|     source software like Android.
| 
| Indeed, and another instance of where free 
| software really does give you new and useful 
| freedoms.

Android Phone Prices Declining Quicker Than Expected

,----[ Quote ]
| it's expected to sell for about Â100 (US$155) unlocked.
| That's over 54% less than the price tag that came on the
| original Pulse only a few months ago.  Granted the screen
| size does factor in for most heavy users, the general public
| will likely fall in love with the price.
