A closed source GPU driver and non-free wifi firmware. ~Jeff |

Better not buy one then. So we can force those silly KDE people to insist on a Fully open GPU driver and free wifi firmware, with the purchasing power they don't currently have. That'll teach those damned Chinese manufacturers. |

I never said this was NOT a reason to buy one. This is in fact a problem with most all ARM hardware. The problem is - similar to what was done with the N900 from sources I read. The Spark is being pushed so hard as an open source device it is giving the impression to many I have spoken with that the device is fully open - what it is not. People should know this up front, not get it as a surprise after the fact. ~Jeff |

Raspberry Pi has the same problem. |

Yep :( It is why I have been yelling about ARM for months. ~Jeff |
