Suggesting things? We suggest the unit is upgradeable in software - we *don't* suggest that the average user tries to write stuff for the unit - but there are hacker-type who do.
Suggesting that the unit is a development box puts off standard consumers, who fear it'll be very hard to use, will require knowledge of linux (etc). Free CPU power and linux means that we can offer lots of things with software upgrades - and this is true for consumers, not just hackers. For example, the microphone will be used by the voice recognition - this is due in v2.0. It's not there just for people to play with with their own software.
