</div>First I want to say that I do not consider this a "new effort", but a<br>
continuation of the effort that the Openmoko community started. If I<br>
"opened" something, it is only a door to help the community move<br>
forward. This, by the way, is one of the things I "do", and I have done<br>
it many, many times before.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Could you clarify a bit what exactly is the goal of this effort? Is it just designing a line of "open hardware" mobile devices (that's what it sounds like), and selling them to manufacturers? Or do they also want to help improve the software, like kernel, fso, x11 drivers, etc for the Neo?<br>
<br>My feeling is that the GTA02 device itself is in pretty good shape compared to the software it runs. So how will the community benefit from a GTA03?<br><br>Michal<br></div></div>
