Linus Torvalds ditches iPhone for Android based Google Nexus

Linus Torvalds has purchased a Google Android based Nexus One cellphone.
But I have to admit, the Nexus One is a winner. I wasn’t enthusiastic about buying a phone on the internet sight unseen, but the day it was reported that it finally had the pinch-to-zoom thing enabled, I decided to take the plunge. I’ve wanted to have a GPS unit for my car anyway, and I thought that google navigation might finally make a phone useful.

“In many ways, the Linux community follows his lead. When he offers an opinion, the community rallies behind him.”
I take issue with this statement. The Linux community is very flat in structure, with all sorts of people part of it for very different reasons. We don’t actually have any real leader, not even Linus. We just take our visions and run with them. Sometimes those visions amount to something, other times not.
