google open phone platform

[Robin Paulson]

the digg and /. readers here have probably seen it already:

looks like google are announcing an open-source linux based phone OS,
supported by a lot of big names in the hardware industry - htc,
qualcomm, motorola. no nokia though and no specifics on things like
open drivers/hardware specs

is this about to swamp the sterling work of FIC and openmoko?
