Well, I really tried to daily drive the Freerunner, but it was just not there: unstable software paired with unfinished buggy hardware. Im still grateful for the project. It was my gateway to a professional career in embedded linux development.

    I remember reading about these Openmoko devices before most people (certainly I) owned smartphones.

    I thought at the time it was the most awesome idea ever, especially because I wasn't used to mobile Internet or even much computing. Now I am typing this from an Android tablet on a train in a foreign country without WiFi, so the world has definitely changed.
