what we need to do is dress the wolf up in sheep's clothing.
Make it a wicked and complex hacking device ...sure...

Just don't tell the public.

...Also it should appear hobbled...
Code:
Android apps rumoured not always supported...
In fact....whatever is done...
DON'T call it linux...
like android has done....
at best call it ...
.
Code:
 DebWin7

or (maybe, please throw no rocks)
Code:
 iFaceBerry


Code:
 WinDruid


(there exist global experts at coming up with cheesy names in HK)


As well it should have issues ...bugs...etc...
just like ios and windows...
.
Code:
Libreoffice always has some formatting glitch...
.

Also create an over exaggerated amount of publicized hype about just "how great" something or other is about it..
Code:
full permanent license Office - complete suite preinstalled
full permanent license Linphone preinstalled - free phone calls
full permanent license AntiVirus protection security preinstalled

Finally ...just as android has a "developer mode"
I think utilizing such a concept ...
that with a very deliberate and hidden sequence of password commands...
Code:
sudo-gainroot-maemo
said perfect bland linux contender to fight on par with the other "Pablum Phones" ...transforms ...unlocks ...and voila!
the facade drops away to reveal a wicked linux hacker phone that simply cannot be compared to.

And so the grand game of handheld devices is played and won utilizing mimicry and camouflage...

... change the rules of engagement.
