OpenMoko confirmed running Android

[endmp25]

it looks rather fugly... At a nearby strip-joint their slogan is.... "Thousands of beautiful girls and a couple ugly ones..." I think the same thing applies here... Capability wise I think it's a good phone... but I would prefer manufacturers taking the negatives of the G1 and making it positives in addition to the positives of the current handset...

It seems like everyone is starting to make a "Just good enough product" when it should be... "Better than the previous"... I was reading the news and they said "...one thing Steve Jobs does purposely is make products that are hard to reproduce and imitate..." I'm not an Apple fan-boy... but I believe he makes a good point...

With Android there will be multiple phones... and regardless of the manufacturer they will still be grouped as Android phones... They should take some pride in that... and present a product line that exceeds expectations...

Sort of like when a famous artist makes several painting for a show... he won't present the one that looks like crap... and signs his name on it... because he does not want people to think of that art... that design... as a representation of his capability...
