As a pissed off Freerunner owner I have this to say -
OM has been badly managed for some time now. Rather than concentrate on getting basic functionality going they wasted time and money doing things over and over and over again. They must have reinvented the wheel at least three times by now.
No disrespect to the developers, but OM the company was a failure. In what they did and in how they failed to communicate properly with their community, ultimately ensuring there wasn't much of one.
Android ------- Free and open BSD style license Being adopted by every major phone manufacturer - LG,Samsung,Sony Ericsson,etc... Being readied by PC OEMs like HP and others for netbooks Developed by and supported by grown ups who get up every day, go to work, and get shit done
OM ------- Viral GPL license Dead Developed by the usual open source/GPL kiddies spouting big promises and total botched execution

Gotta love the pathetic excuses from piece of garbage GNU losers like you every time another one of these looney GPL fiascos takes a dirtnap.
Android and its free and open license is behind rapidly adopted by massive numbers companies and consumers are soon to have a massive number of devices capable of and in many cases explicitly designed for the completely open and license free Android platform.
Apple comes out with a free and open BSD licensed OS, OS X, and blows the incompetent GPL Linux retards out of market for desktop unix.
Google come out with a free and open BSD licensed OS, Android, and blow the incompetent GPL OpenMoko retards out of the market for mobile phones.
Odd, where are the mods on the retarded AC post above? Especially on Apple allowing "free" development for everybody on their iPhone. What a joke. Please bury the troll in case anybody is in danger of wasting their time.

No, I'm sorry, but now you can just fuck off too.
The "GPL is viral" meme was lame ten years ago, the fact that you still spout it now is basically proof of mental deficiency.
OM was developed by a company full of people that also get up and go to work every day.
It was managed badly. That has nothing to do with the license. Grow up.
