How many women on OpenMoko?

Another good demographic to consider is the non-technophile.

I seriously considered handing the phone to a non-techie friend (man
or woman) and see how long it would take them to make a call. It's a
totally unfair test since currently the icons on the home screen are
broken images. Once the gui is working how it should, this will be a
great test for usability. Eventually it should be possible to hand it
to a newbie without giving them a stylus :)

With only one stealthy hardware button the cues on the screen have to
be really good and something obvious needs to persist on the screen
regardless of what's running. If a newbie launches the calculator
instead of the dialer, it shouldn't be a "game over" scenario for the
test.
