[Noisebridge-discuss] Android rooting resources?

[travis+ml-noisebridge at subspacefield.org]

Nexus One, though not commercially available, is said to be a
crud-free phone.  The developer models come unjailed and unlocked.
You supposedly can get them from Google at their Android developer
meetings sometimes, and employees might be able to obtain them.

It may be intimidating to pay $500 for a phone, but it's a small
difference over the subsidized price ($200) compared to the cellular
plan for a year, not to mention the life of the phone.

If you have an older iPhone, you probably have the unlimited data
plan, and can move the SIM card to another AT&T phone like the HTC
Captivate (when it comes out) without informing AT&T, and do all the
tethering you want.

Note that the Android actually acts as a WiFi AP (hot spot) that
gateways to the 3G/4G/whatever network, so "tethering" is a bit of a
misnomer - there's no cables involved.  You basically get Internet
access for every WiFi device in range.
