@just_a_frog @BigAngBlack @huffles yeah, I dont think it is technical difficulties that hold back linux mobile, though obviously usability, security etc. need to upgrade a level if it is to become a mass device rather than remain a techie niche.
But there is an entrenched cartel that is milking the situation based on business models that you don't want to replicate, so its an open issue how to incentivise people to go against it.
