Indeed,
This is something to keep somewhere in mind,
the biggest difference exists between traditional business
and someone who says "what if I do this?" - and tries.

If we wait for some traditional business to revisit the n900
mindset we will be waiting forf'ingever.

There exist on the other hand far too many of us
who given one gram of hope would dash off to
resurrect the idea of being able to control our mobiles.

The difference is the jaded mindset of a business
understands how to negotiate the mindfields of investors
and the intransigence of vendors. And little else.
The rest of us may be experts in simply getting things done
but actually "getting there" in the business world is
nothing less than a nightmare fro new ideas,
unless you are trying to do something everyone else
already does. like build yet another Android thumbsucker.

The guys trying to do this from scratch deserve
the benefit of a doubt sometimes.
Most will fail and the tragedy of that is not just a simple
loss of pocket money - in many cases it is life-changing.

Whether each of us support them or not,
they represent something that deserve some recognition.
