Haven been working on a wireless device my self for the past few  
months, I totally understand where Sean is coming from. We have to  
understand unlike software, its not easy to fix things once they are  
released into the market. The cost of recalls etc are not cheap.

I think Sean is totally justified if he wants to push the date. I  
understand that developers are eager for this phone, hell even I am  
dying to get my hands on one of them. But I would not like Sean to be  
pressured for an early release and release a non tested, semi  
complete phone. This would hurt the OpenMoko more than a delayed  
release.

Lets keep politics and software naming outside the list. This is the  
single largest turn off when people start huge threads talking about  
calling it Linux or GNU/Linux. This is a OpenMoko mailing list.  
Software is a tool, not a religion. :)
