Actually it is "we" people.. the tinkerers, hackers, modifiers, etc.. that take a device and want to do things nobody else thought of that make things continue on. Blackberry .. people wronte JAD applets and crap if one didn't already exist. Windows/Mac; people write their own and toss it around to their friends until it lands on "the right" desk.

Take the world of broadband in your pocket.. just a few years ago almost no phone had a decent browser or internet in your pocket... yet people weren't satisfied and push for better, more internet support. Once that latched on the phone companies saw a whole new niche they could get money from - Broadband USB dongles.. and now they are sold everywhere.. It's now the "norm".

If everyone was happy with just being able to make phone calls then nobody would have even pushed for a cellular broadband.

Looking just at this form is a perfect example.. people bought the N810 for just an internet tablet and then found this form and saw people like Benson, Keeps, Penguinbait, Qole, Qwerty, Myself (and the list goes on) - doing some real quirky and cool crap with our tablets... now all the "normal" users that bought their tablet for a tablet want the "new cool" features of the geeks tablet.. thus brings forth the Penguinbait Bootmenu and Clone deb's, his KDE for Maemo, Keeps Deblet, Qole's Easy Debian.... on and on and on.

It is we people that provide you people the devices you want - not necessarily the device you got. And this pushes companies to see that you people WANT these kinds of things and so they try and find ways to incorporate it into their product to make $$$$ off of you.

Don't dis the we people .
