I would say, "logic", not "interesting". One thing is to invest your spare time in an open source project (I don't know you guys, but i do other things for a living) but also investing 400 euros is maybe too much to ask to developers, who are creating the sustainability of the N800 as an appealing platform for non developers. Also, consider that the new N800 is much better and more appealing that the 770, so many of us are now considering it seriously. By the way, I'm not currently in any project (neither do I own a N800 in this moment) but I'm cooking one project regarding gesture based interfaces. If initial research goes well, I'll let you know . . . and this will hapen regardless of that rebate :-D Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2007 11:02:34 -0800

Interesting. Maybe the whole discount program is just a psychological experiment on motivation and reward, and there are no discounted units. Perhaps it's a first test for the 'bounty' program discussed earlier...(please don't misinterpret my intentions! I'm just kidding!) --Ty ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers End of maemo-developers Digest, Vol 21, Issue 57 ************************************************
