back when I was poverty stricken i had an android that was obsolete out the box (they all are).

i installed cyanogenmod after using some really sketchy program to "root" my phone. it was just as lovely as the stock firmware with the added bonus of even more jerky animations. also some terrible artwork was included that looked like it came straight out of 2001 era linux wallpapers

so it turns out it was actually run by a group of children. who would have guessed?

still love the anecdote about the Fujitsu F-Phone

They feature a nearly invisible 'privacy mode' that hides missed calls, emails and texts from any contacts that are designated as private.
The only indication that such a person has got in touch is a subtle change in the colour of shape of how the battery level icon of the network signal antenna bars are shown.

In the latest episode of Diggnation, Kevin Rose (at ~38:30) claims to know some details about the Apple phone from a "solid" source.

According to Rose, little bit of inside info on the Apple phone:

- Going to be coming out in January
- All phone providers
- "It's small as sh*t"
- Don't know anything about the Operating System
- The OS is supposed to be "cool"
- Doing some unique things
- Two batteries, one charger. One for MP3 portion and one for Phone.
- 4GB ($249) and 8GB ($449)
- Flash memory, Slide out keyboard
- Maybe touch screen?

Kevin Rose was co-host of The Screen Savers on Tech TV and later started Digg.com. Last year, he offered last minute rumors prior to Macworld San Francisco which turned out to be accurate. He also predicted the iPod nano.

I believe it when I see it.

But I'm now cautiously optimistic. :p

Jan 2007 is sooner that I expected. I thought March or April would be more realistic.

i don't think it is terribly controversial, microsoft pumped in $70 million into cyanogen the company, and the only thing it really offered different from the community cyanogen mod rom was stuff like cortana integration, replacing the dialer/messaging app with skype, crowbar onenote into every crevice of the os, toss in a microsoft camera app i don't know, etc. (see https://mod.life/mods)
