Anti-Whining: Happy Moko Moments

[Warren Baird]

There's some pretty cool stuff going on out there.

To try and get some of this off the mailing list and into the wiki, I've
created a 'Successful Use Cases' wiki page:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Successful_Use_Cases

The idea is to gather together all the cool things people are doing with the
FR, and to give hints to others about how best to do things like read a pdf,
send an IM, or how to disable an alien mothership.

I hope anyone who is doing interesting things with their FR can add a quick
note there describing what they are doing.
