Well, sharing data (calendar and contacts) is expected to be simple  
(create a patch for iSync and use SyncML).

Sharing applications is much more complex and more or less means  
removing some parts of OpenMoko (e.g. GTK, the built in applications)  
and replacing with a MacOS/Cocoa compatible software layer. The best  
thing with OpenMoko is that it *can* be done!
