The problems are the small market share and the proprietary hardware. There were so many that failed on the way ... and I am amazed how people think they can deliver something better and working. I think it is sad that people do not unite behind one single solution and make it working as competitor to the big. Instead the Linux/open source community keeps splitting into smaller and smaller parts, which makes them weaker and weaker - the software development gets slower and slower etc. I personally am lucky to have TDE and Sailfish OS. Regarding opening the boot loader - this is what the AOSP from Sony is. You enter the IMEI and get a code with which you can open the bootloader. You can always buy used one and play around ;-) regards --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
