Well, Nanonote doesn't really need cartridges, because space is not a limiting factor anymore. I can fit 4 times my desktop linux setup in a 16Gb SD card. As long as you are using only free software there is no reason not to include it in the distro. The real problem is that there is still too few usable programs on Nanonote, IMO. When I got mine in September it was practically bare metal, and included gmenu2x setup is, well, useless. Still people do find their ways to run their software on it, using openwrt build tools or debian distro or gentoo or whatever. As a device for tinkerers it's perfect, and should be marketed as such. It's real value is that a whole setup is open and simple enough to be comprehended by a single person, from schematics to the kernel to userspace programs, unlike most "open mobile platform" bloatware.
