This either means that a developer has to load his own libraries or stick to what the device already has. Maybe that's why the iPhone and the Touch are so damned responsive, all the apps use the same graphics libraries and other such things.

Nokia just needs to give better clay to the sculptors so they needn't fetch their own. ;)
As repeatedly said, it's coming.

See statement above. ;)

I'd be more than happy to road test a Beta! :D

Well, again, I can't get too deep into specifics. There are certainly some nice obvious enhancements but to me the most important aspect (and this is publicized on the maemo Chinook page) is the stage being set for the NEXT major update.

Also, I still think the Apple/N800 debate is mostly misguided and misses the intent of each device. But that's been hashed over enough. :D

Sorry, but if Chinook doesn't address the major failings of the platform and at least achieve some sort of parity with Apple in terms of UI slickness, usability and cohesive design then I honestly don't think I'll be around for the next firmware update, let alone the next major update (another year or more away from now?)

Nokia have had enough time and oppurtunities to get this right, my patience has it's limits. Continual promises to get it right with the next release are beginning to grate now! ;)

Well, that's up to you Mil. Sorry if we lose you... :(

Chinook will be "better than ever". I think/feel many people would be pleasantly surprised. (Although you can never please all the people all the time.) And it's not really relevant to talk about the "future future" - the future future will always be something else than the future.

well, whatever the new "stage" is, it better be an innovation and not a copy cat. or is imitation what we're all hoping for?

As Nokia have publicly stated, there's nothing wrong with copying something if it's good! :)
