Let me comment on FSO, which is only a distro because "we can" (thanks
to OpenEmbedded). Zhone is an independent UI application based on the
FSO framework to facilitate testing.
If you want to build own UIs or custom applications on the forthcoming
Openmoko dbus service framework, then the FSO-image is a good starting
point.
