The issue is allocating resources to support them while trying to get the Touch finished and shipping. That's a very difficult balancing act: the Touch will really shine with 3rd party applets (the new Weather applet is great). But none of that will matter if it doesn't ship, will it? -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73698 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
