iPhone, OpenMoko, HTC Shift
I’ve been hacking away at my Sharp Zaurus for a couple of years now. It has brought me great pleasure, but I’m in need of a new toy. Anyone’s input is appreciated. At the moment, my options are:
iPhone:
Pros: It looks nice and does lots of cool stuff (I assume). There will be a large software repository due to it’s popularity.
Cons: It’s Apple. I don’t want a machine so tightly coupled with a corporation.
OpenMoko:
Pros: It runs a completely open source version of Linux, therefore it’s hackable.
Cons: It’s hackable and I’ll break it.
HTC Shift:
Pros: Powerful enough to run Windows Vista (which I happen to like). It’s small enough to tote.
Cons: It’s a lot like what I already have, and I paid $400 for what I have.
