Sounds congruent to what we've experienced in the past. Even worse is attempting to get customer support from them when you find massive problems in their part but you only ship a few thousand a year... It just irks me that while the Raspberry Pi in itself is a great product that will be a minor revolution, its impact could be so much greater if this chip was available to all developers. I guess I should shut my mouth, at least the second product to get the chip is a somewhat philanthropic effort and not another streaming media box.

Sounds like any large vendor :) I agree with you. I'll put my RMS hat on here, but I'm concerned that it's a 100% proprietary platform for education. The old BBC Micros that we had here in the UK were made out of standard bits and had schematics so you could strap what the hell you liked to them (or modify them). They were replaced with utter proprietary crap from Research Machines and it has been like that ever since. We need some open hardware as well if you ask me.
