   The !Android or !FOSS model is not broken, the manufacturer-carrier model is broken. Mobile platform should be standardized as PCs are.

     !Android is a pure excuse for FOSS—I don't think it's fair to confound the two.

     @samatjain You're right, what I meant was "The Androd or FOSS models are not broken". Standardized platforms will be good for both.

     @coyo I know what happens, but sometimes you must refresh the obvious or stupid proposals like this one http://ur1.ca/70eti appear.

     open hardware, @skreech2 which means the specifications are open, and also, i want all the parts standardized completely to fit together.

     @coyo I don't see what's the wide benefit of that. There are already kit cars. How much is the current way holding you back?
