Sure, but it hasn't been proven that people want to develop apps for these devices, and easier app development doesn't justify a high price to consumers. At the same price point, what is there enticing a consumer to pick one of these up for Christmas?

"It does all the most basic things that the competition does, at the same (or slightly higher) price, but maybe someday there will be apps made for it" hasn't worked very well for hardly anyone throughout history. Check with Palm, Microsoft, Ouya, Blackberry, and probably dozens of others that no one remembers.

What can I say :) ? You underestimate the android market. Maybe I am just excited about this because I am an android and iOS developer and don't develop for the other devices you mentioned.
