New Open Hardware company

[Tony Berth]

just few comments from a European! :)

Its just FINE that you base your company in China.
China is worldwide a synonym of superior quality and most advanced
technology in terms of electronics and they are catching up extremely fast
with the rest of the industrial activities.

I wouldn't care about Sisvel. Let them try to sue you in ... China :) What
Sisvel 'defines' is useless and they know that. How may chinese companies
were sued anyway? :)

iPhone is WAY too expensive! A pure Mickey Mouse device.

What I would like to see from your product would be a about 150EUR one where
I can install by myself the needed s/w (OpenMoko style!) and use it as a
portable multimedia player - for the beginning! :)

In general is a NICE TRY and hope you'll release soon a ready to run device.

Cheers

Tony
