No one questions your commitment to Linux Audio. Simply that companies who expect to make their income from tablets and mobile but write off Linux are being short sighted. I could have been more specific on that point. Given the very real increase in adoption of Linux across the globe and the inevitability of Linux and x86 on the mobile form factor it makes more sense for audio companies to be early adopters. We know for a fact that the early adopters in the mobile world are going to have a better chance of earning the dollars than the ones who are late to the party. -- Patrick Shirkey Boost Hardware Ltd _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
