Just a few thoughts to while the time away until the n9/n950 arrives...

I think it would be an awesome accomplishment if some members of this community could design a modular mobile device with, perhaps, the possibility to upgrade hardware over time. That can utilize the best or most suitable linux based software for a mobile computer. I have no idea how feasible this is. For example, can you get even enough people to agree on type of components and software? Once you have a design. Who would build it? For instance, there are several Chinese companies that make cheap copycat devices. Could you contract them to make a device according to your specs? How many would have to be made to make it afforable? Sure, I'm scratching the surface and,well, maybe it's best to leave it to a manufacture, but it would be fun if you could do it on a small scale for people to play with.
