nobody said sucker anybody from money. When undertaking a project of this kind, you will need capital. It is clear from this post, the they ran out of personal (?!?) money. Heck, to even "save" money, the manufacturing was taken to a UK company (?!?!?). Not manufacturing hardware of this kind in China is a really really bad idea for several reasons. > 1) NOBODY wants a tablet with 2 year old specs. You are mistaken. the low cost tablet market exists. I would rephrase that to most people do not want a slow / unresponsive tablet. those are two very different things. > 2 almost nobody wants a KDE/gnome/Firefox tablet. How can you even make that statement when you don't even know what that would be like? People want a tablet that responds well, to browse the web, send email and check their Facebook acct. For some segments of the world population the ecosystem of 3rd party apps is irrelevant since they never ever download an app.
