[IxDA Discuss] iPhone Ads

[pauric]

Will, granted Apple could market mad cows to farmers, a story beats a
solution every time and  I'll accept open source is an engineering
centric dysfunctional clusterfark. 

The Openmoko hardware is unlocked, software is free, they'll have
GPS etc.  Yes its being designed by german alpha geeks with hardware
from taiwan, aside from the issues that implies, I feel confident
that open-mobile will play large in the long term.  Just look at what
happened with DRM on the iPod.

It can be argued that UI's, Hardware & design -do not- sell product
I'll point at ~6% of the PC market.  Cheap sells.

In my negative viewpoint the only reason the ads are UI focused is
that price, performance & coverage are shocking, average and poor
respectively.  Yes the UI rocks but are you willing pay $2000 for it?
