Not sure about the GUI... The browser looks terrible (http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/open-moko-software.media/o...) with it's two scrollers.

What else did you expect? I'm not sure about you, but I have no faith in open source GUIs. "A camel is a horse designed by a committee" comes to mind.

Take a look on Nokia's smart-phones based on Symbian, their GUI is just horrible, it's proprietary and yet it is most popular smart-phone platform in the world. One must be very talanted to design usable GUI nowadays, especially for mobile devices, and it does not matter open sourced it or not.
