What you fail to realize is that neither Android powered Phones nor the iPhone will give you any full access / code for the GSM/GPRS part. At most they will do the same as the Neo - give you serial port access. This is due to legal reasons (FCC compliance etc.). And this is not a SIGNIFICANT portion of the OS, what a load of rubbish. Nothing to see here.

As for a small install base - you do realize that the currently available model is/was only intended for developers and people who like to tinker?
