Yes, I was cruising the H+ list yesterday and that was basically the
opinion.  They are too expensive for mass market, hence few developers have
them, hence there is little support.  The hope was that the new Xthing would
be the right price point and perhaps Sigma Designs would do a linux driver
(or at least let people have the specs....)

..Seems like not though...  What a shame
