More devices supported by OpenMoko. It is always good to have the
choice. That's why I love GNU/Linux.

Yes, that's bad. But stopping our efforts on get it running smooth
wouldn't make it better.

Sorry, but I think you are wrong here. If FIC produce good devices
with perfect software they will have success.

They can't produce the hardware faster only because we buy more of the
first version. :)

FIC does a smart job here. I _really_ like what they do and will
support their work.

But we should not be blind in other directions. OpenMoko will be under
GPL. Everybody can use and modify it. That's the spirit.

I looking forward to OpenMoko on EZX, HTC and even the closed
Greenphone. ;)
