All,
well this is not good.! Openmoko already has their carrying case
available for order:

Does this mean that the Taiwanese companies are "hitting" on some
marketing "cylinders" where Nokia is not?
Speaking of Taiwan and China, now let's see who is the first to put a
WIMAX chipset into an opensource mobile device. Given that Sprint has
just announced that ZTE^1,2 (a Chinese manufacturer) is going to be
Sprint's supplier for Cardbus/USB WIMAX adapters, I anticipate that the
Openmoko team will push to get a WIMAX version of their platform "tout
suite" and get it into the hands of the just announced Sprint/Clearwire
WIMAX JV^3 .
