    Well, I don't think it should be a software company.
    I think that companies like Toshiba, Asus, Sony, Acer and what not should pick one of the most popular distro from distro-watch.

    Say the first 3 or 5.

    And all they need to do is support they're on device and maybe get Canonical or $OTHER_COMPANY_NAME to do it for them for a fee.

    Same here.
    Basically it went like this:

    1) Windows advanced user. Very frustrated.
    2) Trying installing every other distro. Got Mandrake to sort of work but every time I would fuck something up and have to reinstall - just like windows. This not because I played too much with it but because I was trying to get to work some hardware or software that I was using in windows
    3) Go to uni, see that my java professor used a mac and therefore if he's a programmer and uses a mac I can do it too.
    4) Fall in love with mac, buy iBook -it works, it's great - bash/posix, pretty, good OS - buy new macbook to replace iBook, then buy various iPods (mini and then nano) airport express (remote speaker anyone?) and apple tv.
    5) realize that remote speaker my ass, only via iTunes (perhaps quicktime too, not too sure)
    6) hack to apple tv to watch divx and mount nfs drives.
    7) get really pistoff when they REMOVED nfs and afs support from it and the mare fact I can't use my linux deskop as a source of anything (picture, music) - somethings not even hacking
    8) fall in love with iPhonev.2 hardware and like the software but can't accept the IMPOSED limitations such as bt, filetransfer, basically angry that I have to jailbreak it (and therefore lose warranty) to get it to work like I like.
    9) In the mean time Linux on the desktop become accessible (see ubuntu), I got just better on unix, config files as I started doing software development professionally.
    10)...
    11) Profit - back to Linux, and I hate how much I have to fight to get apple gadgets to work so skipping them.

    People who buy Apple are constantly increasing and the variety is quite large.

    I would (and I was) and Apple boy, so until I understood my limit in freedom and I switched to
    my home made desktop machine. With Ubuntu.
    Apple limits my freedom by selling locked iPhone, iPod Touch (locked as in software via the Apple Store, or the Sim card, or iTunes (thank you banshee).
    Couldn't buy a Mac Pro, too much, iMac, too litle, Mini too ..
    Hackintosh is too much of a Frankestain to my taste.
    Damn, even my AppleTv, had to unlock it to make it worth while .. you know, DivX, browser, just apps damn it.

    And I repeat, people who don't know (and some don't care) still buy a lot of it and I see more and more, devs, advertising, normal people (two brothers)

    I agree with your last argument.
    I mean, that is how much I would pay no problem for a G1.

    Just think about it. It's a laptop, and on highly stress full thing they usually heat up a bit.

    A good interface with the hardware, acpi and whatnot would sensor this and slow down the cpu.

    Android Market Terms of Service.

    This is for application *distributed* over the android market.
    And we already know that you can install applications by other means (memory card is one of them, maybe web/email/other market too) as well as the Official Market.

    Big deal, I agree with them and I think this can only be positive.
    I guess it could allow google to stop a competitor via the main official channel, while still allowing them to install them.
    Like a normal mac/windows/linux box.
    But I guess it could help make the main market, where Joe Sixpack buys, a safer place in terms of malware and viruses.
    After all, you can still install anything you want.
    I like the way Maemo does it .. apt like but easy as a click or a tap with the pen.
