Don't be. Trust me, they have crippled node on the device. You cannot run any compiled binaries and there is no native SSL support. I have the same handle here as I do in their support forums you can see some of my discussions. Also, just getting started on how to write a "JavaScript service", which is what they call using node, is a exercise in guess work; there is no documentation.

SSL or binaries is not necessary for my use case. I just want to get https://github.com/bergie/noflo to run.
A half complete SDK with minimal docs? So it's just like before HP bought Palm then.

I think I spent half the year I had a pre1 waiting for an decent SDK, and the other half putting it back together and getting replacements. Then I gave up and got an android phone.
