I really want to make a customer friendly cellphone.
It would basically require a new OS, or fork of Amdroid st the least, since iOS can't be customized, but doing everything except the security model would be such a pain. It would also be relatively hostile to the network in traffic (to protect against traffic analysis, you waste bandwidth).
An iOS app plus server side services could work, but would leave the user at risk to bypassing security in many places. Moxie Marlinspike did some things like this before selling to Twitter.
