While I don't want to get into specifics, you're making too big an
assumption. There are several routes the A1000 owner who didn't upgrade can
take. Two of them are the A1000 rejuvenator and the little rom-board,
like the one that's already available for the A1000 (I forget the name at
the moment, I should be at home relaxing). There are other possible solutions
that we may offer, but I can't say whether we will or not at the moment. To
a large extent, other solutions are marketing issues. Hey, we haven't even
released A2000 roms yet, wait a bit.
There's certainly no technical reason 2.0 can't run on A1000's. In
fact, there are a numnber of developers who do right now (though using
methods we wouldn't use for actually releasing it to users, but other methods
are available).
In any case, solutions for using A500/A2000 2.0 roms exist now, so
I wouldn't worry too much.
