  >Windows or even Android support would make sense. How about an SD card slot with a configuration in a plaintext file, so that one isn't tied to the software which may or may not be available in the future. I just got myself a Sony Mavica which shoots photos on a floppy disk, and I can still use it without thinking about which OS my computer runs. For a camera that boasts battery life in years, needing "exclusive" software (that may or may not be available years down the line) defies the point.

  > Support isn't required for linux: I think there will be people who will be keen to hack up Linux support based on the open source code available, and the same with Windows. I guess this is more of a marketing thing but I wouldn't be interested in buying this as a Linux user even with the other benefits if it came with unknown DIY support. If you're advertising it as an open source device and such then the people willing to play with it and pay a premium are typically Linux makers/hackers. If it's being sold as a Mac only device with a slick interface and app-only control that appeals to a different market entirely.
