Maybe they are launching, but they like the suspense. Or reading the speculation threads on t.m.o. :D

fat chance, i suspect they have seen their voip push (they have had sip ability built into symbian phones for a while now) get stonewalled by the carriers, and so need products that can do both mobile and wifi for a while...

I think that itself will put Nokia in the driver's seat for becoming a standard platform. If Maemo or even Symbian^4 netbooks make it on the scene, or Nokia produces a dual boot Maemo/Symbian smart tablet, Nokia is poised to be the Microsoft of the next 20 years.
One fix to your final statement. Nokia isn't looking to become the next MS, they are looking to be more RedHat.

The article he links makes many assertions, the last being: "Could it be that Nokia was taken completely by surprise by the reception N900 got? And now, like that dear caught in the headlights. watches the oncoming demand freight train, unsure which way to move?"

His comment is more deflection than anything else. There are many inside of Nokia who knew very well that the N900 and Maemo 5 would be the ideal sell for them. The problem comes with those who are also inside that have strong ties to Symbian... they still have trouble navigating those waters.

Actually, yes, Symbian has all kind of little small features you'd miss in Maemo or some other smartphone OS.

Taking a look at http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Maemo_roadmap/Harmattan

Quote:
UI Specification General 3866 Please, add "last used special characters" palette
Utilities Clock 472 Support clock synchronization by NTP
Utilities Clock 2750 Support clock synchronization by GPS
These 3 features are relatively simple under the hood, yet exist in Symbian.

Why would one downplay Symbian then? This kind of feature is solid in Symbian. It had years of development. Ari also said he wanted to talk about Maemo, not Symbian.

OTOH as for downplaying own product by announcing the next one already (_software_ wise, after which the hardware is build). He did not announce ath else planned hardware wise. He could have said RX-71. He said _nothing_ else was planned for now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_effect

Seems more you want denote the advantages of Maemo 5 with a flamebait comment like "it will attract people who fall for eye candy" just because you're not getting your N800 sequel for stylus thats really telling. :rolleyes: truelly an insult to anyone who recently joined t.m.o or who is interested in Maemo 5.

Eye candy, you say. I don't see much Compiz stuff, or silly games. N900/Maemo 5 can do things your 2 year old S60 phone cannot do. It is a big math of + and - and some things your current device can do better, others not. Ofcourse it misses certain features. (It'd be nice to note which btw.)

Oh interesting. I wasn't hijacking the thread after all. He's saying what I thought he was saying. Well, saying it without actually saying it. Because you don't get to be VP of Nokia by actually saying those things.
