Plasma Mobile – Turns your phone into a fully open hacking device
The power of things like this taking off is not what they are now, but what they can be. There are lots of real people with their own good reasons to not be tied to Google&#x2F;Apple, and whats really impressive here is that unlike firefox OS, they are (in my opinion) doing this in a much better way.<p>As this catches on, it only helps improve linux hardware (ARM) support, telephony applications for linux, and the like. As well as being able to have (or make for others) a truly remarkable user interface and apps. This is a mobile computer, running linux, running a desktop environment (not webkit, or Java VM, or closed source code) that only limits what you can make by your skill and imagination.<p>Yes it looks pretty mediocre now, but that&#x27;s because its waiting on you to get involved.
