openmoko's design was announced a few months before apple's announcement. november '06, if i remember right.

the coolest phone ever made!

this is about open source man not ripping off...

if you want to rip on designs rip on the instinct

[eMbry00s]

Because it's a nice design?

[AmigaFalcon]

and if he REALLY doesn't like the iPhone comparison, why have they made OpenMoko's design look so similar to the iPhone??

[AmigaFalcon]

lol, shipping inferior, buggy devices under the guise of "open source". great marketing plan. this commercial company are going places! I bet their prices don't reflect its "open source" sprite tho.

bloody capitalist con-artists, exploiting the good name of Linux/GNU for their own gain. they'll have the entire Linux development community making their phone work, while they just sit on their asses raking in the profits.

This is an amazing project,

As long as we get the synaptics packet manager like installer and smooth animations + drag drop function and memory stick i think this will rule the market :) Go open source

[techdudezz]

Open Moko's first challenge to get some market share would be to find someway to get viral attraction like the iPhone. I mean, the iPhone is already hip and hot. Damnit. :(

There is already an Open Source car in the making! It's called the OScar Project.
