FreeRunner delayed a further 6 months?!?!??

[Richard Reichenbacher]

IMO I'd rather the dev team spend their time developing than writing blogs
and answering the communities every question.  Their number 1 priority is
getting the FreeRunner finalized and working.  Not coming up with arbitrary
dates that the device may or may not be ready by.  It would be better that
they spend a few extra months making sure the hardware is good and done than
finding out in those months they needed to have an extra resistor at x
location so that y feature would work.  The community needs to calm down,
relax and be patient.  Remember if you could have created the first open
source phone out of scratch with just a couple guys and a small company than
you'd be the one doing it.  Not the guys in Openmoko busting their asses to
try and change the world or cellular technology.

A progress blog would be nice.  I don't think much more than what you
normally find in the Wiki and kernel mailing list would be needed.
Just a single place to find out what's going on.
