As for the new follow up nanonote, like you said, nothing is certain
and as the peon I am I pretty much lost hope. the zipit, although it
has a dumb name, is basically all I wanted from the Nanonote for
half the price. I can handle not dealing with the community in as
intimate a way as at qi.
As for the pre2 and android, I wouldn't really ever use them. I
don't even consider android linux, having recently bought a 99$
tablet with android and returning it the same day.
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.
As for that, yeah, I tend to be unrealistically critical- sorry. I
think it is hard for me to fight the strong delusion that there is the
"perfect computer" out there, somewhere, that has everything I want
already and waiting. That, and I probably want too much out of the Nano.
Both Jane and I have learned that at least now, the Nano is more of an
overgrown gadget than a legit laptop replacement. However, that's kinda
what we are looking for. Since she's into animation and I'm into graphic
design, I think we have more demands than your average hackers, who
could go for days on canned food and a terminal. But we both agree that
sacrificing our creativity and tools like Inkscape, GIMP, Blender, etc
is NOT the solution, so we are sort of torn between the sweet form
factor and creative power. Perhaps the best solution is like you said,
to actually work and hack on the Nano without wanting it to become a
desktop.
