I like the idea of using non-x86 processors, but it's sad that there are no good tools available. I still don't understand well how much is maemo using the capabilities of the OMAP processors, which have an extra DSP, and also if we are using the ARM cores thelves to their full extent (the NEON stuff, etc). And the worst is I don't feel like pushing these boundaries with the current development tools.

I bought my N800 knowing it was something for crazy bit-brushers, and I thought "hey, that's my thing!" But today I have the feeling one has to be a true uber geek to have his fun with it... And there's too many people wanting to make it a desktop in their pockets. That's wrong!

If you ask for a different processor, you are literally going against the _core_ of the tablets!
