Is the OSD suitable for average users or just open source developers?
It’s suitable for both. The OSD user interface is intuitive so that mainstream consumers can make recordings, play back content, etc without even having to consult the user’s manual. We even have menu-specific help screens and options menus available at any time just by touching a button on the remote control. On the other hand, the OSD is Linux-based and open source so that our growing worldwide community of open source developers can get as involved as they want in creating new applications. Our community has been with us every step of the way, from designing the basic hardware to developing our operating system, and will continue to be essential as we make the OSD even greater. If you’d like to bring your hacking skills to the table (or just see what all the fuss is about), check us out at http://open.neurostechnology.com/. And everybody benefits from open source because, once we make sure these new applications are suitable for mainstream users, we make them available to all OSD ow
