This NanoNote is good as a concept of open source hardware.
However, as a product it falls in the middle between a decent mobile phone(which have better screens) and a netbook, this middle seems like a very tiny niche, which I am yet to find anyone interested in.
Granted, it is not meant to be an end-user product, but it has to appeal to enough people to make the whole project a success. In fact, the creators wish for people to tinker with it and produce something useful. Ok, porting Debian to this has been done, but what then?
Still, even if this project is a failure(too early to tell), some good may come from it, if the open source designs are used to create something bigger/better.
