All talk about scam and other angry things aside... my question is what will folks go to next?

Ubuntu Touch dropped the ball by going with Mediatek (read: cheap), Intel seems to have gotten out of the mobile sector almost fully so x86 on these things seems unlikely until the m-series goes low energy enough to stop being a netbook level (ex. Intel m3-6Y30) - read: not likely for quite some time.

Embedded Linux is doing quite fine in our routers, whatnot. But it's having a serious, serious problem being adapted into a consumer friendly deliverable that works the way a wide gamut of folks would adopt readily. The terminal lovers to the Facebook game players and all points in-between aren't being approached by anything that we'd like wherein we'd be yet another clique/niche.

The Jolla offered an option that doesn't fully exist yet. One that speaks to geeks, mom's and whomever else Android and iOS speaks to.

Or have I missed something? And I don't mean some esoteric something that only will sell 200 or so. Or isn't coming anytime soon. What options really are readily available today? What are you guys jumping to embrace?

What's not a scam? There, I think I got something for everybody...
