We need a place on the wiki to capture quotes like this. The approach FIC is
taking with OpenMoko is incredibly unusual, and I think will be an important
part of success of the project. People trying to understand the essence of
OpenMoko ("No, it's not just a new cellphone") need to understand this as
well.

The success of OpenMoko has very little to do with whether the Neo 1973 is
better than the iPhone, and everything to do with whether people understand
Sean's vision.
