FOSS in the Mobile World
The closed Mobile World


Compare the Mobile world with the PC world
In the Mobile world
you buy some product (mobile phone)
the product ships with pre-installed OS and Apps
the manufacturer does everything to prevent you from installing a OS of your choice
there is no single product/solution based on 100% FOSS
the network protocol stack (GSM/GPRS/UMTS) runs in proprietary firmware
