An iPhone Contender for Linux Lovers

We finally have more details, pics, and a video on the open source iPhone competitor. I'll admit, it does have a very nice sleek look to it.  With an open source OS, will it stack up to the iPhone? Lets take a look.

First thing you'll notice is the 2.8 inch touchscreen running at 480x640 which does look stunning. For storage it's got 128MB of RAM with a microSD slot for added storage. Built-in GPS navigation will get you to where your headed without a problem. Connection speeds will be quick with GPRS, and you can use it as a modem for your PC. And it's all powered by a S3C2410AL-26 (Capable of running up to 266 Mhz).

The features seem great, and running open source is a big selling point for Linux lovers. Will it draw people from the iPhone? Maybe, Linux lovers will surely want one, but you don't see Windows or Mac users jumping onto the Linux bandwagon very often. And Linux can do many things those OS's can do, only for free. Would you take the open source route over an iPhone?
