I came across this post a while back.

While I agree with the post, I wonder if Davy Crocket would choose an iPhone or a gPhone. I just wonder if he would choose a tool he could tweak and write his own software for. It just seems to me that frontiersmen would have to do much more of there own than buy things pre-made from the store. In today’s day and age, would that mean buying something a little less proprietary?
