I think its better to start off with BeagleBoard/GuruPlug/SheevaPlug and
alike instead of focusing on mobilephones. There are allready a lot linux
based (successfull) OSes out and have pretty good shape. I think the focues
should be on "hackaway gadgets" (as BeagleBoard/...) and multi usage
devices.
I would be willing (with help of some mastermind) to setup, update, keep
updated a rootfs/kernel/howto for guruplug server plus.
