Jon, Your mind works in mysterious ways. By the way, please explain how the Ingenic SOC is safer, less subject to nefarious government meddling compared with the Marvell SOC?
Is it because Ingenic is a Chinese company, and the Chinese government does not have the goal of denying freedom that the USA government does? On a serious note, what are you smoking my friend? Until Sebastian's design can be made into an SOC, and has the functionality to create demand in the tens of millions of unit, it will nor achieve the price point needed for Freedom Box. I have a shiny Ben Nanonote right here on my desk. It charged overnight. It boots up. What's not to like? --- Ron K.
