OMAP5 got rejected because of risk management: GTA04 is based on OMAP3, and fremantle runs on OMAP3, and it's still unclear if we could get a OMAP5 that would even fit into the case. Then we would need to do a complete new design instead of basing Neo900 on already proven-to-work GTA04 design. Then the question arises whether fremantle could get ported to OMAP5 SoC which is quite a bit different to OMAP3 SoCs. While Neo900 group doesn't do any software porting, it's still a major product spec key feature that Neo900 *can* run a ported fremantle. And, on a sidenote: afaik Nikolaus is in close contact to the pandora guys since quite a while, he helped them recover from their manufacturing disaster. /j
