No.
I VERY much like the idea of manufacturer asking us for help while defining what we want to see in a version of the device he is preparing.
I am still waiting for their mentor. Not holding my breath at the moment, but I am sure that sooner or later we will see a great device from Astak.

It is exactly the same situation as it was with openpandora.
look at
http://openpandora.org/
they have designed a portable game console (*) to the exact specification of the comunity and the opening of the preorder crashed their servers with number of buyers *magnitude* higher than the most optimistic estimates.

Besides, I personally like this thread very much. I want to see what happens when number of messages exceedes 65535 (**). Will we crash the server?

(*) by the way, the Pandora console would make an ideal book reading device for those that prefer back-lit screen.

(**) see 65535 in Hexadecimal
