Anyone else feel like this has been tried about 90 times now and still has not taken off? If they want it to take off its going to need to be able to run apps that are made for Android out of the box and fairly easily or it will never go anywhere. Unless you are kind of die-hard most people simply won't use something like this. They want all of the "regular apps" that "everyone else uses".

As part of the celebrations, FSF Managing Director Zoë Kooyman announced a new initiative, the LibrePhone project, which aims to create an alternative to the dominant mobile platforms from Apple and Google. The aim is to develop a platform that offers “full computing freedom” for mobile devices. According to the FSF, the LibrePhone project is to be developed in partnership with Rob Savoye. The developer has been working on free software since the 1980s and was chief developer of the free Flash player Gnash. He has also worked on several projects, such as the GNU toolchain, GCC (GNU Compiler Collection), GDB, Cygwin, Debian, and Red Hat Code.
