Contribution would be also indicator, how serious are all these potential buyers.

Can you trust the manufacturer to release the source after paying them though? That is the question...

It seems they have already reneged on the promise to release the source code, so who's to say they won't do the same again, or perhaps raise the ransom.

make them sign a legal document or look for some other place...if they plan to raise the ransom then they will decline signing such document.

Anyway, 6000 u$d means 600 pcs at a price 10 u$d higher - we can just collect 10/20u$d from everyone interested in the project in order to give Smoku the chance to go on (and to all of us a full open source tablet). With a PayPal account or the like it won't be too hard. Count me in.
