I mean they not only bundle the firfox on default cd, but also OO.org and bunch of others.
And no, giving it free does not make them immune.
And what about KDE? as a project they don't support anything but integration with konqueror. (well not entirely true, but they still bundle it by default)

For US$1 ~ INR 50, you can get 2 or 3 solid meals at an average restaurant/fast food place. In US, 1 dollar gets you a can of coke or a small 100gm back of chips. Do the math.
Well you are slightly off. I would rather say a $3 ~ 150INR gives you a good meal at middle standrand indian restaurant, a good stylish restaurant will still cost you around ~300INR (PIZZ huts, McDownelds etc) and a really good one will cost you around 700-1500 INR + equivalent for drinks. Ofcourse more options are always options are always there to take care of the poorest and the richest... but this is what a typical upper middle class is faced with. Agreed though its still a lot cheaper than US.

From the entry "If you want a status update on OpenMoko: I'm at a point where I won't go to the office again because I know the agression inside myself will tusufrn into physically hurting someone there."
His previous post was little more optimistic though. The project is apparently suffering from a lot of managerial problems.Progress on technical fronts, especially the software aspect of OpenMoko is slow.
OpenMoko is a first free software mobile stack being developed under sponsership from FIC. The first device it is suppose to support, is Neo1973, which some people compare to iPhone."
