Ian, I agree with you, and I'm sure Steve and Sean (and everyone at 
Openmoko) do as well.

I'm sure that the only reason that Steve has not responded (for he is 
the one to respond to this) is that he is completely overwhelmed by 
email, manufacturing and shipping, and releasing stuff this week. He is 
wearing the hats of Marketing, Operations, Manufacturing, Shipping, 
Testing, Hardware and Software final test, Field Engineer Manager, 
Customer Service Manager, Product Oversight (a new category I just 
created), Trade Show Coordinator, Vertical Market Manager, and many 
others I can't even remember.

I will be talking to him today and I'll see if we can address this issue.

Thanks for helping to keep us focused,
Michael
