Like the Open Pandora (I still use every second day) or Openmoko (paperweight), I'll happily put my money forward supporting open hardware.

Congratulations Bunnie/xob/others on the release of the crowdfund.

This is stage one. Community, hackability and continuous development cycles will lead to better, more feature packed and stable devices. The CPU was a good choice for performance/power/openness but there is nothing stopping them from using a modular design for the SOC and people could replace them as required.. the www.pyra-handheld.com/ is build on that idea.

I'm looking forward to the use cases for the laptop...

Side question: Is there much in the way of design that can be done to improve the physical security to this design? or are we hoping that people simply don't have the driveby ability to mess with this due to the fringe-ness? and physical access is physical access.
