how does installing new apps on this work? like synaptic in ubuntu? I think for the uptake of any technology by the masses...the hardware has to be available...cheap-ish! How many people do you know that are willing to fork £200plus for a phone! I know no one who has forked out on a iphone...and thats supposed be the cool thing to have!!!....
