Yeah, well. I agree and don't. I think everybody prefers less and better working apps over more and buggier ones. When I go through new/unknown (to me) NanoNote apps, I see bugs everywhere. So I can understand the "random ports" feeling. But then I also think it's not that random actually, otherwise the Ben today would never boot, run stable, play music and videos, etc. And we have been able to come out with regular and improving software releases. The difficulty is in getting more people to come together, polish the NanoNote firmware in its many loose ends, increase quality. All that without increasing our maintenance overhead, i.e. with 100% upstream software. > Maybe some focus on specific functionality could really boost the > sales? For instance, we could choose to focus a bit on gaming Would you like to see more games on the Ben? Which ones? I think you are on dangerous ground if you push yourself to follow some cold theory that you think others will like. Sooner or later you will hate yourself for not succeeding and stop. The most convincing way to get someone to buy a product you know and use already is if you radiate your happiness with that product.
