ComputerWorld has published a lengthy look at the OpenMoko phone with a lot of talk with OpenMoko architect Sean Moss-Pultz. "In fact, the most intriguing possibilities are in the enterprise, where Linux servers and applications are common, he stressed... 'Pretty much all the big enterprises have contacted us and are interested,' he said. 'Enterprises have scores of IT staff who can customize and maintain Linux applications.
