I am going to wait on this. I heard that Google's Android OS will be
coming out on this Omnia phone in June. (This phone runs Windows Mobile 6.1,
but everybody seems to hate the OS. And yesterday someone told me that
WM7 is horrible to develop for, and that makes it particularly
unappealing.)
There are 3 reasons I want a device like this: maps, playing OGG and MP3
music, and a camera. If these things cannot be done from my Ubuntu box, I
don't want it.
