Yeah, ditto. Why can't mainline Linux support come first? Then they could sell a working product.

Crazy, I know. Investing in difficult R&D problems to produce a quality product is not a good business model. It's so much easier to churn out a working devkit and ask for pull requests.

Sorry for the snark and pessimism, but that's what happens when you keep getting burned. This statement does not inspire confidence:

>Finally, to ensure that Pocket P.C. has great software support out of the box, we have requested embedded development help from the community.

Why is software always an afterthought with these projects? Especially a project like this, which has clearly seen an enormous amount of effort put into the hardware design.
