Hello all,

I also would like to congratulate the openmoko team for this great
approach! I hope it will be a success and that we get a big community
for the device.

Here some comments from my side for the preliminary specs.

This would enable the people to think about useful application projects
which could be started as soon as the device/SDK is available.

I would like to see more details about the SDK, environment, etc. But I
fear that its too early. I really would like to get some simulator, some
API documents in my hands.
