hmm, it sounds just like what in dutch is called plezier stokje, which literally would translate as pleasure stick, aka joystick...

i am a programmer, i like my phone to be programmable. so you reckon i should keep the openmoko distribution and skip android?

except that android is actually usable as a phone...

greetings, eMBee.
