I disagree. At least if software is addressed. Is the game for OSS and Linux on the PC over? Was it ever over? IMHO, we only have problems getting reasonably open high-end hardware to make OSS flourish. Which is what this discussion is trying to address. But in addition there is apparently a need for a low-end device. So should it end up in two designs? Ideally compatible to a big extent so that there is no need for two complete software stacks which needs two teams of volunteers...
