I show them KDE with the bluetooth mouse and keyboard and say "No, it's a computer. See..."

So who knows why you didn't get one, but it doesn't reflect how valuable you are to the community. If it will help, I will donate $50 for you to get one. Maybe if some others do so too you can get one.

Anyone else in on this? Penguinbait is an important part of Maemo, and it would be a shame to lose him. (Not to mention, printing, KDE, CD-ROM drivers, etc!)

I was on the device program, its just not much help to me. Its Christmas time and a toy for me is not on the list, and the offer expires before the end of the year. I appreciate your offer, we'll see what the future brings. The pandora console is really more appealing to me at this point, their goals are more inline with what I want out of a device. However I have never held either of them so I can't really say what the future will bring. I am on the maemo community council and I am here for at least a few more months no matter what. I have been an avid maemo supporter for years, I do not anticipate this to change, I just may not be porting/hacking/using much on this platform in the future.
