They give you JTAG access so you can reprogram it from the lowest level. The only thing that is not 'user-modifiable' is the GSM module (which is packaged into separate IC and is seen as a serial port to the OS). IIRC the 'hacker' kit includes all tools needed to take it apart and has debugging board included :-) The only thing that I don't like is that it has only GSM. That means that although I'd love to play with it, it won't work for example in Japan (where I intent to go, unless Google hires me, which I doubt.) > Too bad. Cell phone companies are a pain. That's the reason behind OpenMoko AFAIK. They wanted to build "a truly open phone". Now, if it only had UMTS/HSDPA..... > ron > -- Paul Lasek
