You don't seem to get it. This isn't an end user device. This is for developers, i.e. hackers and makers.

It doesn't work by installing "apps", but rather, the whole system image is built from _your_ code. Which makes sense on a device that has 64KB RAM.

Any code samples they provide are just that: Samples.

If what you're looking for is a general public oriented device, this is not it. There's plenty in the market to pick from.

I surely get it, yet another device that will be gone in a couple of years.

The target customer does not care.

Ask N900 owners how they don't care about having a replacement.

False analogy. The N900 was an end user product. This is not.

So developers aren't customers, I see.
