Do you really want Linux phones
All too often, a Linux gadget shows up to an established market place, with its academically superior ideology (which I love and support) and then wonder why it always feels like a has-been, a Johnny-come-lately to the party.<p>I don&#x27;t know about others, but what I would want in alternative phone is something that is different in a different way. For example, a simple and open hackable phone that enables creativity. If Linux is part of that story, fine. But I&#x27;d be open to other options.<p>Basically it&#x27;s the Raspberry Pi. And the arruino thing. Sure proving that I could do some sort of actual development on a pi might be fun for a while, but what makes the Pi fun is that it&#x27;s simple and straightforward and approachable enough that it  encourages creativity. People make cool and fun things with Pi&#x27;s. I would want a phone platform that would enable that same type of exploratory creativity in the phone hardware space. Linux kind does that for the Pi.
