I really believe more in Nokia to release N900 than a community-become-company which never released anything before that. Of course I'm not all in the Pandora details, so if you know of a big company behind it, please feel free to correct me.

And then telling the open source community that they NEED to embrace closed architecture and closed software--which tells me that they still don't seem to 'get it'.
Drivers are not Nokia's to release them and i don't believe Pandora would have if TI didn't open source them.
