May i know what are all the Other Open Source Mobile Free Operating > System available? Android is neither an operating system nor open. It is a GUI sitting on top of the linux kernel. It is completely locked down. If you want to get your hands on the system, you either have to crack it almost like a game console or buy the "development" version. In both cases, you will loose the ability to run copy- protected software (see http://lwn.net/Articles/321659/). I do not know how anybody can call anything which has copy-protection built in "open" in the first place. If you want to see a community developed open software stack for mobile phones, look at www.openmoko.org . -Michi -- programing a layer 3+4 network protocol for mesh networks see http://michaelblizek.twilightparadox.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
