Linux-based phones : Why are GNU/Linux users treated as second class?
I've posted a new blog piece over at Free Software Magazine with the title above.
"Like many free software users, I am greatly encouraged by the number of mobile phones that are starting to come out running some form of embedded Linux-based OS.... All of this is good news, but just how useful are these free software phones..?"
It's a fairly splenific post but I think the point has to be made. It ends with a rallying cry...
"But I — like many — chose the HTC because the software it was based upon was free and I wanted to support companies and products which utilised it. The same thing applies to other manufacturers. So, specifically HTC: Where is the synching and upgrading for non-Windows users? and generally for all: Because of your use of free software, GNU/Linux users are an increasing part of your customer-base, start recognising and addressing that factor you may well lose our custom."
