You act like everybody wants to be the next Apple. I and many others will be happy with a smart phone that runs free software. There's room in this space for "The Red Hat of Phones" to come make some money and foster a loyal, if small, community. I don't know who it will be yet, but I don't think anybody expects Mozilla or Canonical to produce the next iphone.
