Yes I do agree, but the point being is it does exist and since it exists, there is experts in open source oriented devices that now know the complexities in creating said device. I watched the openpandora project for years before buying an n900. Starting from scratch is difficult but it's something that only has to be done once and then becomes more of an evolving product and not a reinvention of the wheel.
