Not sweatin the Iphone? Neither me. Check the OpenMoko

Because At&t like Verizon, Aol, Yahoo and other internet fiends, have been trying to take the freedom of the internet by proposing to create walls and high priced tiers, I have boycotted them all. I don't trust them. For reasons like this I am bound to report on technology that I truly believe is good for the people, and isn't funding crooks that are in bed together, stealing your bandwidth and other data.
This makes the Iphone a non-option for grassroots chics like myself. Likewise, I am an opensource supporter, so when I saw this baby my chakras lit up.

The OpenMoko is coming to save us from the hype of lesser technologies.
