Look at how successful FireFox has been - in a large part to the extensions that you can add to it. A device that allows you to download and install custom apps is a fantastic idea. Think of how businesses can use this to develop custom apps for Sales tracking, contact management and more. Developers will follow the lead of the consumers. I have been waiting (here in Canada) for the iPhone - now I wonder if the Neo 1973 is really what I need. I think that this makes so much sense.

Supply a phone with a polished set of applications then the geeks can code anything additional. The linux community just doesn't get it. People want easy to use over expandable. Get the UI and out of the box applications right. Take a tip. Copy the commercial guys like iphone or symbian. Don't reinvent the wheel. The mass market is quite happy with those. And at the end of the day for a consumer device it's the consumers that matter, not the developers. No one wants to write their own applications.
