my impression would be that the truly embedded solution is the most sustainable approach, or certainly the one with fewer uncertainties with regard to hardware quality and availability. I feel comforted in this direction when I see the current progress, as blogged by Harald recently: http://laforge.gnumonks.org/weblog/2012/01/28/#20120128-osmocombb_rssi On the other hand, I am very interested by supporting the Openmoko Freerunner, having already written a complete embedded telephony environment for this platform (with interchangeable telephony backend). See https://trac.hackable1.org/trac/wiki/DeforaOSSmartphone for more details. Considering this, I would say that what matters most would be an easy-to-(re)use API to interact with the telephony subsystem, regardless of its presence on a separate chip or not. Then both approaches would be likely, and it should even be easier to hunt and catch bugs. Easier said than done, but HTH nonetheless. Cheers, -- khorben
