You seem to be critical of a lot of things. If you are interested in feeling more sharism energy in you, with all due respect - maybe you try to build something yourself? You will learn to be humble and appreciate the work of others more. It's really rewarding. I agree that waiting for a device that we are only casually chatting about once in a while (the Ya NanoNote) will not make you happy. The Qi community doesn't have the discipline yet to come out with improved hardware on a fixed timeline, and for all we know now we may not even want to develop such discipline. Better hardware is ready when it's ready, I don't know when. The software does keep improving though. As for comparing with other devices, I was going to suggest what you already said is not so important to you :-) Oh well. I was going to suggest you compare the quality of support you get. The unique thing around the Ben NanoNote, ben-wpan, etc. is the friendly community we have, people helping each other, the support we have started and continue to build in many free software projects. That's the Ben NanoNote. If other considerations are more important to you, then definitely I'd say follow your gut feeling about what's right for you. I'm using my Nano, and I'm happy, and I have a lot of ideas how software can slowly improve to make me even happier :-) Just in case - here's the shop: https://sharism.cc Cheers, Wolfgang _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
