Ain't we are all responsible for "duping" Purism into making that phone? Just look at the hypes after the announcement and how people loved it on paper. It's a classic example on why you should never fully trust your consumers for their suggestions. Based on those hypes, Purism probably thought they can just create a phone for hackers first... and never realized the reality that even hackers loves consumer products. Just take a look on how many hackers owns a MacBook as their main driver despite the existence of many good Linux laptops. People are hiding some truths here, and they wanted a smart businessman to figure it out. As one of the hypered, I'm sorry, Purism. This is the baseline that I actually wanted from a handheld device: - Runs open source Android and Linux without bug, maybe also iOS; - Powerful, as least 8GB of RAM and a relatively fast CPU; - Big swappable battery, 4~6 hours continue use without a re-charge; - But most importantly, INexpensive, at least not far more expensive than their consumer counterpart; - Then you can start thinking about ergonomics, self-serving ability, usability and extensibility (builtin keyboard, swappable modem etc) I should have listed all this clearly in my hype post...
