Well, if you were to _eat_ the operating system, the mitzvot might
suddenly become relevant, so there's that. ;-> Of course, what they
mean is that they purport to examine all code to produce a full-featured
Android-ish smartphone that allows access to a filtered subset of

2G/3G cellular networks, uh-oh, the old limited-phone options are going

for 18 months after purchase. After that, Extended Service Contract
(currently US $75/year) is required.
