QUOTE(speculatrix @ Nov 29 2007, 06:16 AM)  it does seem as if Google have made a big noise about openness, when in fact they mean they provide the SDK free - pretty much like Palm did! However, you can't actually get source code to the android platform, so we couldn't port it ourselves to Zaurus, nor even change many of its inner workings. so, I'm with Mickey on this one, OpenMoko is still our best chance at a truly open mobile handset! Ironically, that's the kind of openness that most consumers and OEMs really only want or need. Most of these OEMs do not want to spend $$ on R&D folks to twinker with some OS on their devices (or notebooks for that matter). They just want an easily available SDK that they can use. Somewhere along the line, this got blurred with Open Source, and suddenly everyone is an open source pundit.
