I saved the script and left. Now more than a year and a half later I use Ubuntu on both my laptop and desktop, I am administering a Linux webserver and have coded a little bit QT. That is what I expect from the new device. To engage me like the N900 did.
That is a disruptive device. My overly priced VAIO now boasts ubuntu, so does my Lenova and soon my desktop. All as a result of the N900 showing the possibilities that lay in a community provided OS with excellent support.
