I fully agree personally, though I understand the disappointment of those who bought a (quite expensive) original Pro1 expecting regular minor and major updates of the operating system it shipped with, which IS the official Android OS, not some open-source fork of it.
Obviously, they have to focus all in-house effort on the Pro1-X now. However, I hope that, now that they are actively participating in alternative-OS development, also the original Pro1 will keep getting some love in the long run. E.g., I still hope for a useable UbuntuTouch port for the 835-Pro1.
