Sorry fellas, I'm out...as it seems, are many others... There is absolutely nothing that has happened here that leads me to believe that the same idiotic execution of non-communication will not happen again.
Let's tell some truth here for a change: Basically, now Intel has decided that its two little experiments in community building did not bear the fruit of creating an instant ecosystem, so they've packed up and went home. Now, it's like a divorcee on the rebound, trying to jump into bed with the first person who will sleep with them... The first time this happens, I can definitely blame it on the market... The second time this happens, I could blame it on a conspiracy to keep open devices out of the market... But now we're on what amounts to try #3 of this consortium... Try #3, that seems to have been launched _EXACTLY_ the same way as try #2, unilaterally, and without consent...mostly because those in charge were acting like parents about to be divorced, telling them that everything was going to be okay...until it wasn't...and now?...now the whole community of users is being told they have to go live with what may amount to a distant relative (I say this in response to LiMo's rather strange past.) To those with the money: * You tied the hands of the community leaders. Time and time again, to do what amounted to making sure that your own short term financial interests were kept, at the expense of a potential community of users who could have helped you. Shame on you. To those in charge of this community: * You did not communicate, once again, that things were changing. Shame on you. There is a whole list of things I would have potentially liked to say... ...but I'm done. I'm exhausted. Being burned this many times leaves me with no skin.
