Paul,
your posts contain many thoughts. For me to respond in a useful way, I'll try to split up topics. There are lessons to be found in the overall picture of course, but it will depend on the detailed chain of arguments. When exploring some parts first, this is because I feel I can contribute to this part faster now.

Best for me could be to collect information somewhere on the current state and history of mobile devices and Free Software. Like a wiki page, which we can update with several people. I think it would be helpful if we can point people to this place and say: if you want to know what is possible with mobile devices and Free Software, go to this place.
I'll see information here and there, because I am doing research for my own needed or for being a consultant for others. But there is no central place I know.
Such an updated state of the art, could be the basis for two things: a) what can I as a person or organisation do, if I want to go to the next step from where I am standing. b) an analysis that if someone wanted to change the situation, what could be done.
Best Regards, Bernhard
