 Vaporware 2001: Empty Promises(Wired, 2002.Jan.07)"10. Indrema: This company cast itself as a slayer of corporate behemoths
  -- Indrema said it would produce an open-source game console that could
  beat those from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo.  But the available evidence
  suggests that, in the company's short life, all it managed to get out the
  door were a few sorry press releases.
 
  "If only they would have gotten off their sorry butts and built the stupid
  device instead of modeling 3-D mockups and obsessing over the developer's
  kit," said reader Tim Toner, who had great expectations for the system,
  "there would already be a fanatical grassroots developer network in place
  big enough to scare the big guys."  Those big guys did well last year in
  the world of games, but Indrema died a quiet death last spring."

 Indrema: What wnt wrong? Can open source and consoles coexist?(AllLinuxDevices, 2001.Apr.12)"Having the ability to customize software, and even to some extent, the

  blackmail, to be sure, but it's done all the time."
