We sent about 25 developer units to community developers before the Summit. I asked the Council to propose names. I believe the sure bets were satisfied and the proof is the good state of extras-testing and above.

If those with loaned devices and now a developer discount return back the loaned device, then we will keep circulating them with developers in our waiting list.

The primary focus was and is to get software for N900 in Extras, of course. Platform hacks can wait. I believe the main platform hackers have got an email today or before, still before sales start.

Ask Juha Kallioinen about the details of the Beagle board. There were some serious problems dealing with the acceleration graphics. But the SDK was in good enough shape during several months, at least to get into the radar.

We are spending a lot of time trying to get the hardware in the right hands. The wave of mixed feedback today only confirms some ideas I have been maturing in the past weeks about how to handle things the next time. But now it's time to enjoy Maemo 5 and the N900.
