Darn GMail... Here's e-mail I accidentally bcc'd instead of cc'd:<br><br>Somehow I don't think that 'the OS/ browser/ app that you built' will excite anyone except linux-guru's. ;-) (it would scare me away...)
<br>Take a look at some of the N95 vs iPhone spoofs on youtube. Some of them are really good: <br>Battery replacement:<br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1-8DpRNGNE&mode=related&search=" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

</a><br>Internet: (This one is good since Jobs has convinced a lot of people that only the iPhone has the 'real' Internet.whatever that may be.) <br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwrE5UCUf7s&NR=1" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

<br>The scenario I like is also about the freedom to write applications, but from a user/consumer point of view:
<br>Moko: Hi, I'm an OpenMoko phone<span class="q"><br>iPhone: And I'm an iPhone <br></span>* OpenMoko looks is busy tapping on his phone.<span class="q"><br>iPhone: What are you doing?<br></span>Moko: Oh, I just installed this handy app that lets me <insert cool app>.
<br>iPhone: I don't think I have such a program. But I can run ajax-programs through the web. Check this app out. It finds the cheapest gas stations in your neighbourhood. Here I'll show you! <br>* iPhone does nothing.
<br>Moko: Sow, can you show it to me or not?<br>iPhone: Wait, be patient, I'm loading the app....<br>*pause again.<br>iPhone: Damnit, lost my connection!</blockquote><div><br>Somehow I also think most people won't know what "Ajax" is, except for the football club or anything else other than what you mean ;-)

This puts me in mind of "this is the house that jack built":<br>This is the phone that you built.<br>This is the OS running on the phone that you built.<br>This is the browser running on the OS on the phone that you built...
