It depends on what you mean by Linux/OSS friendly. Motorola have Linux |
13 |
based mobiles, IIRC, but they are one of the more expensive designs |
14 |
and they aren't particularly Linux desktop friendly, though they |
15 |
supposedly follow the standards for OBEX and USB Mass Storage, so |
16 |
should work, and if they don't, just get the code and look. |

OpenMoko is definitely the way forward if you want a device you can |
19 |
play with though. |
