The list has later grown to what is currently on the Neo900 website. But now we are talking about DVI, HDMI and a DVB-T tuner. How did that come about? Where will it end? I fear that never-ending talks on "can you add this, can you add that" will delay the project indefinitely. Some new features will come "free of charge", so to speak (dual touch comes to mind) and that is fair enough, but I think we need to learn to let go and stop bolting on ever more features lest we create a chimera that will never actually see the light of day.

Just my £0.02.</rant>
Don't worry, talk is not delaying work. And Nikolaus is already enough of a warranty that no unreasonable difficult and possibly delay-causing stuff will make it to Neo900 design. And I'm not considering to delay work to implement new features either.
Actually it's been me who started the discussion about DVI/HDMI here, and the SDR stuff been on an age old list of things I've been thinking about already and thus xes' request didn't come by surprise.
We neither will delay the project nor will we deliberately increase the cost per device beyond the original goal, no matter what we're discussing here.
Nevertheless thanks for sharing your concerns, duly noted. Seems I need to improve our communication so that such concerns can't come up to start with.

cheers
