> Dream on.

These phones (boards) are growing the beginnings of a hacker culture
that is trying to get all sorts of unix to run on them, a long held dream.
And the future of phones and open hardware is only opening up more.
So whether it's Fivnex or others, do not be surprised when people
boots more kernels on them soon. Your refrigerator and car will
splash Beastie.

May your dreams hack into reality :)
