@thrrgilag It makes sense but, believe it or not, I was looking forward to the next iteration of the phone platform. Maybe I should have plunged but I doubt very much my sole purpose jade would have helped. ;)
Ever since @matigo first mentioned it, it ignited a tiny spark. Sure my Linux and coding skills are very limited but I honestly saw it as a route into (very, very limited) hobby mobile software development. Maybe even on-device, my much-preferred environment, as it were.
A shame, but inevitable given the established major players and dominant OS's. Another nail in the coffin of non-iOS, (non-Android?) convergence?
