qole, meanwhile, better be hoping he's right, because if he's wound everyone up needlessly, we're going to throw him.

You're right.. I think the N900 hopefully marks an end of "here is a platform designed for one device" and the introduction of "here is a platform for many devices"

Maemo 5 is designed for the N900 where as Android is designed for numerous devices and platforms (hence why it'll run on the N900) For Nokia to keep up with the rest of MeeGo, they'll need to adopt that approach.. It's what user's are definitely starting to expect in a big way..

I believe the problem isn't so much so what will be releasing on the N900, rather, it is the lack of communication on Nokia's part. We will get MeeGo (Nokia or not), we will get Flash 10.1, once this whole PR1.2 fiasco is settled. Heck, we may get commercial apps for the N900 when they are released on the next MeeGo device. There is a reason why Nokia brought the latest version of QT to the N900.

Now, I agree with everyone that said Nokia is being way too secretive about everything. For a device that's built around the developers and early adopters, the silence strategy is not a way to handle device suppport. It should be the exact opposite because developers who invest so much time in bringing apps to the platform need to be aware of what is going on. Nokia should be working closely with the community and should keep them in the loop.

If this does not happen, you have situations like these where a RC is released and the community turns into a mob due to lack of direction. This is bad PR and will affect brand loyalty in the future, especially with part time developers because that's where the real innovation comes from. If you are listening Nokia, forward this post to Ari Jaaski.

I really doubt the Flash version running on a device will make people buy it... I bet no-one will change from the N900 to its successor because of the higher Flash version.

flash 10.1 beta requires the 2.2 update and thats not coming until later this year
