This is just how we progress! Think about it… With some tweaking, you now have the worlds smallest computer. You may not care, but someone will be able to use it to make their job easier, and some kid will have a ball flashing his pocket sized computer at school. Wasting time is how we got so technologically advanced!!!

don’t you see that this is the start of alternate operating systems for the iphone. one day we might have mobile windows running on iphones (not that we would want that), or ubuntu MID running on them or even Google Android.

Android uses the linux kernel, so it basically is linux and then windows mobile (and other proprietary operating systems) will not be ported because Microsoft will not work on that sort of a project (Apple would most likely sue) and also do you really want Windows on your iPhone.

Also one basis for a GUI might be Ubuntu MID. There would be ALOT of changes needed, but the basic OS is there and it might prove to be a good starting point for a GUI, that is once drivers are created.

Linux does rock, yes this is awesome and hells yea to the ubuntu lite idea! (hoping someone from ubuntu winds up reading this post! It would be bad-ass if we had a linux alternative to the ipod touch OS, I’d switch in a heartbeat! Yay open source, knowledge belongs to everyone!
