My opinion is SLIGHTLY better than xplodwild’s… but still, this announcement is really “meh” and its importance is really contingent on whether the source they have already provided is broken on OrigenBoard. That’s sort of the impression I got but again… huge language barrier issues.

What we do know:
Source for nearly all of those components they say they are releasing source for already exists
That source is totally useless on 20 million or more devices (basically, all phones, as compared to maybe a few thousand OrigenBoards sold) for hwcomposer, HDMI, camera, etc. The only thing that works well is OMX stuff.

What may have been revealed this weekend but I can’t be sure:
That source is almost as broken on OrigenBoard as it is on phones. I’m not spending $200+ to find this out for sure.

What we don’t know:
How much of an improvement in quality this source will actually be.
When we will get something that amounts to more than “ICS tarball drop that isn’t broken” – this is, effectively, not getting working ICS reference source until two Android revisions after ICS.

Pretty much… This might be enough to keep some on the CM Exynos maintainer team from stopping all work with their devices, but you’re not going to see CM support for any new Exynos-based device for a long time unless a new maintainer picks it up.

I’m really hoping that after all of the pwnsauce Sony dished out at BABBQ, Samsung will be more cooperative with the community, but I’m a little bit skeptical of them doing anything that matters.
