I have an impression that the goal of all these new iOS/Android challengers is to get Linux on the mobile phone at all costs. Whereas the goal should be to create user experience that would be at least as pleasant and smooth as that of iOS, plus openness and transparency of the platform. At least.

That may imply Linux due to the lack of viable alternatives, but really, it should be built with users in mind, rather than perceived as a technical challenge of putting Touch on top of Linux.

(And please, stay away from Java in your next mobile OS. Among other things, you will ward off those of us, developers, who let's say are not neutral wrt. to certain programming languages. Edit: make Java optional if you wish.)
