That's good news.  It's a great hardware platform, and they've become
pretty cheap now that they are last year's deal.  The phone is a self
contained thing from qualcom (so I hear) that just talks serial.
You'd think someone would have sniffed that protocol by now.  I
thought maybe they had done so for newer phones, I still suspect the
issue with the Apache is mostly atrophy.  I'd give my left #$! to get
linux on the thing (short of actually figuring it out myself ;)
