But it's a wonderful thing that a lot of people are curious what is
going on. I'm sure that a few of the would become a real programmers.<br>

curious what a non-programmer is going to do with this device in the

few months. And if your first use of Linux is on the device itself,

run Windows on your desktop, how you're going to grow your Linux skills
and<br>
effectively develop applications. Just seems odd to me, but maybe I'm
<br>
overlooking something. ;-)<br>

Thet will be very good beta testers. And about that linux, always
should be the first time. But linux has its own magnetism. Jeff, I
think that some of them will install linux distro on their PC and a new
linux adventure will happen for them.<br>

<div>In some points i agree, but i think as an application developer
you should not have to look into the code of gsmd, or whatever. As an
application programmaer, i (usually) expect some sort of interface wich
i can use, and wich is documented. Because if every application diggs
deap in some sort of demons/driver/whatever, and some piece of code
changes, then we're all fucked up (sorry for the expression).

I do agree with you. The code should be modular and there should be no
need to look inside of it if someone only uses services provided by
some daemon. Only interface/api should be known. Ofcourse it needs a
good documentation but it's the part of libraries developers.<br>
<br>
All non-developers - keep tracking the OpenMoko!!! :-)<br>
