Sounds bad. But if you ask me, it´s even worse. What the h*** he is talking about? Right. Linux software stacks.
There are some companys out there, that are selling Linux powered phones. I know the results of this for Motorola and E28, and, if you want me to be honest, they didn´t their best.
No SDK, weird platforms… But why?
Some people say, they do it like that, because the operators want it like that. Ok, maybe. But: It´s possible to install software on mobile phones powered by Windows Mobile or Symbian.
So what is the reason to cripple nice hardware with a bad software stack, as there are other ways to go (as FIC/OpenMoko and maybe Android show)?
Maybe it´s to hide insecurities. Or incompetence.
We should really free these phones.
