I have a question:
who never wrote an email like this when the iphone project was in progress?
Answer: No one.
Why? Because the Apple keep all the project under a very strict secret
until all was ready. No one know about it and when it went out all was
happy to have a customer ready phone. So no one had to cry because the
Iphone had delay because no one knew about it.
Openmoko decided to took another decision: it decided to share the
develop process with the comunity: this mean that before to be ready for
production it will be released in different preview only version.
Then you have to choose: you 'd like to stay under a bad "democracy" or
in a good "monarchy"? you are free to choose. If you want a democracy
this are the issue you will meet: developer only version, bug that will
be corrected only on time, etc. etc.
I you like more a monarchy buy an Iphone: it will run soon, is already
in production, has some complete application, and has a very big firm
that support it.
The biggest error that some people do is that they thing Openmoko ==
Iphone: FALSE
Are two different devices, with two different target. In the same way
how Linux != Windows
And they have different potentiality: freedom has a cost :)
So before to buy a freerunner, please think well on what you need. May
be you need something else, or is better you will buy in the future. But
if you decide to buy, please keep in mind which are the objective of
what you buy.
Best regards
