You then snarkily posted this:
"Once again, it's an OS that will be open source and able to be used by cellphone makers. It's not hardware, it's software. Google will be marketing a phone, but it won't be the only phone.
Is that really to difficult a concept to grasp?"
I then snarkily asked you how different handsets would alter the GUI.
All I was talking about was the GUI (semantically, yes I mentioned the first HTC handset that will be running it, but that was an aside).
So my question was aimed to point out to you your initial snark was misplaced.

It wasn't directly right at you, it was more of a general statement. There were a bunch of people before you that seem to be a bit more misinformed or were just chiming in to hear themselves speak, so to speak. As you can see from the posts in the thread, people seem to think that we're going to see one phone running this that is going to go head to head with the iPhone. The media is calling this the "iphone killer", not any of the companies involved with the project. We've got WinMo, we've got OSXMo and this is basically LinuxMo. You might understand that, but it doesn't look like that is sinking in with a few others.
