It'll be interesting to see if OpenMoko can make a start of it. I used to work in the wireless business and nobody is going to put their operating systems on their phone.

What will be interesting is whether they can be the operating system that a bunch of the Taiwanese ODMs use to become serious players in branded handsets (rather than just making them for other people).

You're right. The big players might be hesitant to open up their OSs but from what I hear even they know how bad their platforms are. I think some crazy team will take OpenMoko and run with it which will cause the big guys to sit up and take notice.
