A device, even with a complete OS, that has no usable apps is not releasable. Not even OpenMoko was that removed from reality. Their OS is still far from finished (actually never will be, as they're moving to other OSes now), but at least at this point there are some useful apps. ...And that's on a device that once they finally admitted the fact have been very strenuously and repeatedly been saying is *not* ready for anybody but developers.
