wooow.  i love it.<br>

<br>
Nice.<br>
<br>
Not _very_ related, but another phone that someone mentioned on Planet<br>
Debian recently, that might pique interest here:<br>
<br>
    <a href="http://www.fairphone.com/" target="_blank">http://www.fairphone.com/</a><br>
<br>
in particular their attempts to find manufacturer's that don't rub their<br>
ethics up the wrong way.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
given the very closed and protective nature of MTK, I fail to see how<br>
a phone using their SoC can be "fair"...<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Ah, I suppose they were concentrating on fairness to the workers in the<br>
supply chain for the hardware -- I'm not sure.  I only glanced at their<br>
site really. I suppose they might appreciate a heads up about the<br>
non-freeness of the hardware, and how that might cause them grief down<br>
the line.<br>
</blockquote></div>
On the FAQ it states they are looking for ubuntu/mozilla open-source developers and that it comes pre-rooted.<br>
<br>
It doesn't mention if they are GPL violating, use closed blobs etc etc.<br>
