The opposite of the iPhone
As lovely as it is, Apple's iPhone isn't really customizable, at least not yet, and is locked down to one carrier - AT&T. A new kind of phone, based on a platform called OpenMoko, promises a very different experience. With the open source Linux at its core, OpenMoko phones are being built to function more like the open environment of a computer, and are not tied to specific carriers. The first consumer version is expected in October.
