A better model than mobile phones might be the XO. It should be ridiculously easy to use, plus drop-able and spill on-able and not super power hungry. If we envision this being used in places where the political situation has caused the internet to be pulled, then easy *and* rugged are pretty key. <br>

</div>Only in the same sense that my Linux box has a remote sysadmin named CentOS or<br>
RedHat. Apple/Google never directly ssh into your phone. Although since you are<br>
running their code they can do whatever they want just like RedHat can<br>
theoretically do whatever they want with my servers.<br>
