Story: Why Apple's iPhone is like a 1981 IBM PC
Other approach: Openmoko
Indeed Openmoko offers a quite different approach: Libre Software, full access to the Linux OS (rootfs, kernel), free development environment (cross compiler, SDK, OpenEmbedded).
Openmoko currently runs on the Neo 1973 smartphone, (prototype released in July 2007).
The new Neo FreeRunner is expected in Spring 2008.
