I'm sad as well, because I loved the nanonote for what it could do. However, there were a few points I liked less: - The way of "flashing" it was plain awful, adding to that the IMHO low probability that it worked first time. Compare that to flashing or updating your average Android device. - I'm not a technical engineer, so I can't say this is BOTH possible, but a host mode would have added to its usability, along with using it as a mass storage device when hanging on USB. - Wifi is a must. I do this with my Androids all the time, hanging them on Wifi and using them as Samba server. This would also largely defeat the need for "mass storage device". - Again, I'm not a technical engineer, but some kind of micro HDMI would have been AWSOME. Imagine taking your Nano to a meeting, hooking it up to a beamer and do the presentation (e.g. PDF, I do this all the time) from a Nano. - No development system on the Nano itself (like the RasPi). I REALLY didn't like the X-compiler environment. After some tweaking I got it to work the way I wanted it, but it was never perfect. And DISTRIBUTING GIT IS NOT THE WAY TO DO IT. Deliver an RPM, DEB or even something that complies by "make; make install" like the MingW Cross environment for Windows (info: [email protected]). - No "emulator" - I ended up creating one myself. Developers need this stuff!! - Very, very minor point: more internal memory, both SSD and RAM. 32MB and 4GB simply doesn't cut it anymore. - A decent wordprocessor. I ended up "creating" something that worked OK, but something out of the box would be useful. What one shouldn't change: - The keyboard works fine, at least for creating pages. Programming is not really feasible, not even short programs. - SD card, I never got large SD cards to work, but the small ones were really adding to its usability. - USB networking, that was just awesome! I use WinSCP to transfer stuff all the time. - Size, it worked just fine the way it was. Hans Bezemer -- I have no Facebook account. Consequently, I have no friends and I don't like anything.
