All right! Stick it to Jobs!

Will this thing be unlocked, usable with any provider?

User hackable/programmable?

If so, it beats the tar out of iPhone in the two most important aspects.

Yeah - it's unlocked. And is completely hackable/programmable. The only
untouchable bit is a piece of userspace to access the GPS. These guys are
_really_ serious about freedom and openness.

Brilliant!

If the cost isn't too exorbitant, you can probably count on me buying one in the next 6 months. :)
