Qtopia coming for Neo1973

[andy]

I've enjoyed watching the openmoko project grow - and I think it's a massive boost to the philosophy behind the project (and possibly to the perceived sustainability of the project) that another company is able to take the hardware specs and port their applications to the neo1973.  I think it's good to have the qt stuff going on, but openmoko need to stick with the direction in which they're headed.

Source sharing behind the scenes may benefit many of the core developers - but the openmoko project has set a fantastic example... were it not for openmoko then would qtopia ever have been able to become GPL'd.

Congratulations to Sean for his untiring work on Software Freedom.

I think today we've seen a dream come true (TM).
