Dev: "Oh, ages."
Elop: "And what would be the benefit from this?"
Dev: "A minor PR boost - a handful of FOSS people are asking for it on forums"
Elop: "OK, well, will those people come back to Nokia, buy phones and generate word of mouth?"
Dev: "Lumias?"
Elop: "Yeah"
Dev: "Not a chance in hell"
Elop: *pulls trapdoor lever, dev plunges into fiery pit* ... "NEXT!"

I think it would be more like:

Elop: "Come in!"
Dev: "Just to ask, how much will it cost..."
Elop: "Wait, who are you again?"
Dev: "Oh, I'm the Maemo guy. I..."
Elop pulls trapdoor lever, dev plunges into fiery pit.
Elop: "I knew I had missed one!"
He flings around stands up and kneels down to a holographic projection of Ballmer.
Elop: "Lord Ballmer, my task is complete."
Ballmer: "Good, good, my young apprentice. The cancer has been exterminated. Now, witness the power of this fully armed and operational private equity firm!"

I hope some of them get together and starts a new "Trolltech". The global demand for Qt is huge.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12

Ughh when is PR 1.3 coming out already, this is pissin me the F*** off! I'm waiting forever for this thing to come so I can install NitDroid with it without going through annoying complications when Pr 1.3 is actually out.

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12

I personally hope it takes much longer, so long as there's still a small team actively working on it.
The team has become so small now, that they need way more time to get more fixed or implemented.*
If it gets to October and we're still only hearing hints that it's coming, THEN I'll start to get irritated.
But based on the snippets we've been getting in this thread, I think were getting it (if at all) in 1-4wk.

*They could follow the "release early & release often" mantra...
But the chances of them being allowed to release major updates after 1.3 is hugely reduced IMO.

If you read only Engadget or similar I wouldn't blame you for having that perspective...
Yes they're in trouble, but the extent to which they are has OFTEN been exaggerated/simplified in the past yr, & that's had quite an impact.
Not saying that alone is why they're doing poorly, or even the main reason, but it certainly is a factor.
