Just looked up 'zealous' in dictionary. Yes, nothing wrong with being zealous I guess. Fortunately this also includes those who are making the device. Otherwise I would be really worried. Unrealistic? No. It is like other opensource stuff, when it is done, it is done.
Yeah. So has Microsoft, Sony or Apple. So what? If their products doesn't fit my needs, why should I care?

Personally I don't care how many devices will both parties ship. I'm getting both Pandora and next tablet (betting on developer program) and I only care which one will be first on _my_ table. And if Openpandora goes under after they ship working unit to me, it is fine for me too, I already have one Tapwave Zodiac :-)
