Here come the Linux phones

Heard of OpenMoko? Most folks haven't. Don't worry, though: very few people have yet to catch wind of this Linux-based phone platform that's designed to compete with the iPhone. Some analysts say that the new phone, from a small company, can't compete with Apple or any of the major cell-phone providers. Others say that the market is ready for new phones regardless of the company providing them. This open-source based phone will be powerful and will follow the iPhone's lead in the ease-of-use category--though who knows whether the consortium will be able to pull it off.
