I kinda agree... I'm looking forward to my freerunner, but I want to buy it knowing that the hardware is ok, and that the software will have a few bumps as always, but if it doesn't work today, it will be fixed sometime in the future.<br>
<br>I want to play around and develop for the freerunner, but I don't want an expensive paperweight to keep on my desk, I want to use it daily and have it with me everywhere!<br><br>Ivo<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>Yup. And if we've all been patiently waiting for *quite* a while, it<br>
was to get out hands on *Stable Hardware(tm)* and handle half finished<br>
software ourselves. Heck, what happened to that requirement in the<br>
meantime ?<br>
<br>
The worst part is, early adopters (devs and such) will be ONCE AGAIN<br>
getting bugged hardware.<br>
<br>
I've preordered on Trisoft at the beginning of the week, shall I<br>
cancel ? do we know what board we will get ?<br>
