Compliment of the day,how is your health including work and business over there, guess fine.
My name is favour, in search of a man who understands love as trust and faith rather seeing it as a way of fun but a mature man with good sense of humor after reading your profile at (www.risdjogs.ning.com) ,in fact,i derive interest on you so contact me directly with this email address and here is it(favour.davids@yahoo.com) i believe we can start from here, awaiting to hear from you to enable me send my pictures to you for further introduction.
kisses with love and cherish you.
It was great to meet you, too!
Perhaps, if you want to better understand Openmoko, think about the early days of Apple. Their first market was the hobbyists who were looking to graduate from breadboarding in their basements to something a little more sophisticated.
We want to do to Nokia and Apple the same thing that Apple did to IBM back in the days.
The first personal computer from Apple – the Apple I – sold 200 units. We have the advantage of learning from their history.
Think of using only open source software as a constraint. It makes developing a phone seriously difficult! But I believe uniqueness is magnified by choosing the right constraints. Think of how Agent Smith transformed Mr. Anderson into Neo.
Being open forces us to be more creative within our environment.
I see Android as a software project inside of Google created to generate more profits for, in my opinion, the web's greatest orthogonal business model. So when Google opens their software, Openmoko will just cherry pick useful pieces to build our own products. Software is just one piece. We actually open up the CAD files and even the schematics. Everything but our bank statements ;-)
With that said, I would love to have you buy our phone, but I'm afraid, unless you are a hardcore FOSS developer, our current product will disappoint you. It's in a very early development stage, hardly usable as a daily phone. Lots of pieces are moving in the right direction. So I'm very optimistic about our future. But I know it will take time to get there.

Welcome. It was great meeting you yesterday morning. I am very interested in your phone. I was doing some research on it yesterday. It reminded me of what Google is trying to do with Android. Maybe when they are back in stock I will buy one.
