I'm not sure about that. I'm likely to go "Huh. Well, it was only a whim, anyway". Winners never quit, but quitters never lose.Spite is such a good motivator

Dog eat dog.Oh, what kind of world was I born into where people deliberately hold each other back?

Must be an echo in here.survival of the fittest.Dog eat dog.Oh, what kind of world was I born into where people deliberately hold each other back?
...Or it would be, if dog eat dog and survival of the fittest were the same thing. I don't personally think they are... but I suppose that's just an argument of semantics.Must be an echo in here.survival of the fittest.Dog eat dog.Oh, what kind of world was I born into where people deliberately hold each other back?
And this is the exact reason why the hardware will never be opened up. Gee thanks. You want some other company to take our work and make something cheaper and take away any chance for profits that would make all of this worth it. Thanks so much.I didn't even think of the idea of knock-offs when I wrote the OP, but now that you bring it up, decent quality knock-offs could be totally sweet. More people to play multiplayer games against, more people developing against the same target.
To be honest, I think it's more fun to hack closed hardware as you never know what you find. It's not going to hold anyone back - just look at the EEE PC. Thats a fully closed system with modifications galore.but what about the schema? this could be useful if you want to mod something a try to learn from it. you'd be amazed with what people can hack into devices.
That too will be kept tightly closed. It would be giving too much away to have it open. However, Michael has already stated that he will fully document the internals and all connections where possible.
That sort of reminds me of back a number of years ago when a couple of hackers figured out that you could add some significant functionality to Canon Rebel. It was an odd one which just required changing a single bit out of the whole firmware IIRC.To be honest, I think it's more fun to hack closed hardware as you never know what you find.
