Hi David, Understood, but the operative phrase is "for what I want to use it [Nanonote] for"
1) what are bullet points describing your use case? 2) given your desires, if Ya Nanote can? --do everything Ben Nanote does as well or better --stay about the same size --sell for a similar or slightly higher price (at first) Ya should be all that, plus ALSO have desirable new features to GREATLY increase number of prospective customers, including possible high volume sales. Does that sound like a plan? My UNOFFICIAL analysis indicates Ya can not be ready any sooner than 12 to 18 months from now. That says Spring 2012 earliest, Christmas 2012 latest. If those dates can't be made, the project doesn't make sense, because the world moves on. By 2013 the specs of Ya will already be low end, but should sell (at some unknown rate...) to those who treasure freedom. Obviously Ben Nanonote would continue to be available. It may make sense to continue to offer Ben after Ya is shipping, assuming Ben has ~significantly~ lower price. Ben would be the cheap non-connected (except with atBen 8:10 plug in, which IMO is mainly a proof of concept). These are my opinions. You know what they say, "Opinions are like assholes.
