BlessingInfinity what i remember, initially Carl wanted to create an open ecosystem of products like apple, still unlike apple. He wanted a lush green garden without the walls.
I think Nothing has progressed well on that vision. From audio devices to phones to cmf watch. Launch by launch ecosystem is building. Lets hope in 5-10 years, it will be able to create a full connected ecosystem of uniquely designed (internally and externally) devices.
