I probably should have said that _I_ don't give a damn about mobile. I spend my whole day in front of a workstation, and maybe a few minutes a day using my cell phone. But still: Do you really think that Gnome and/or Canonical should be focussing on mobile? |

Open source tends to work better in mature markets where there is something relatively stable to copy and where there are a lot of players who are incentivized to cooperate and adhere to standards. That's not mobile right now, and by the time mobile turns that corner Android (currently locked down on most installs in a very non Free way) will probably be the open source contender of choice.
From what very little I know about GNOME, it sounds like a great plan. I just happen to think mobile is extraordinarily important and look forward to the day I ditch the iOS platform.
