Wolke, your 100% correct ... yah .. zealot..lol. Are we all already zealot by the way.

But to answer your question. If I'm honest it comes down to a few factors. 1) Technology is changing at a rapid pace, so tomorrow could bring an unknown product that fits my needs. 2) Sending money oversee to an unknown group is tuff (although the neo group help by being part of the community and being open about progress) 3) Justifying putting money into this great project or other more pressing expenses.

With all that said, I already have debates in my head countering .

1) It's unlikely that anyone will come out with a device that has both a Wacom type pen and a keyboard that will work with other open OS (the Note does cut it)

2)This is towards the end of the fund raising, so with many people already having sent money in, getting refunded and all info been post publicly, I would tend to trust neo900 group with my money.

3) I already have the money, just would love to see open Maemo running on it , with I understand should be a problem and all.

You asked, but thank for the little push.
