Pardon, but I have been around for the last 2 years listening to Tony Fadell
tell the world of his 'super-816,' and quite frankly I don't believe him any
more.  I've met the guy personally and talked to him (not in the last year),
and I _still_ doubt that he's going to be able to come through.

I would dearly like to be proven wrong, but I don't see that happening.
