The decision to buy my next device will be made on the existence of a sustainable, developer supported, software infrastructure. I don’t care if it is a Nokia N900, Intel MID, Pandora, iPhone running Linux, Open Source Arcos, whatever. Hardware superiority over the N8*0 will be a given, that is the way technology progresses. OTOH if such a platform does not emerge then I shall continue to get by with my N800. Why would I want to spend good money in order to do the same thing only marginally faster?
