Motorola has announced the A760, a flip form factor that looks like a hip Treo 300. It's packed with features like: digital camera, video player, MP3 player, speakerphone, advanced messaging, instant Internet access and Bluetooth(TM) wireless technology. picture
"This handset is special because it features one of the most open and flexible software platforms that exists," said Rob Shaddock, Corporate Vice President and General Manager of the GSM/TDMA Product Line in Motorola's Personal Communications Sector. "By supporting the open source Linux OS and Java technology, Motorola is creating the most open and flexible environment possible to help drive the development of compelling applications for rich, customized mobile experiences." another picture
I'm pretty excited about this unit. It's stacked with options and has the marketing power and connections of Moto to help it reach mass distribution. My main concern, same with the P800, is the unpopular OS - in US terms. I hope software support for Linux and Symbian accelerates so we can get past these hangups. These alternative OS's are not only viewed as better by many, they tend to be less resource intense and are cheaper than the Microsoft and Palm options.
He gained access to something he didn't have a right to access, by stealing the password. He then sold - or at least got money for -something he didn't own. The fact that the property is virtual is besides the point; obviously someone didn't want it stolen, and some one else was villing to shell out hard cash for it
Having actually read (well, skimmed) the article, there was statement I noticed; ...more people will hear their statement than our response.
The way I read it, they want to stop Microsoft from speaking; not becasue they are against Open Source, but because people (aka 'the common man) listen to Microsoft. For me, this is akin to shutting off the TV during the newscast and then argue that there is no troubles in the world. Let Microsoft speak. In a forum like that, their FUD would be ripped to shreds in seconds, letting people see what they really stand for.
