I find this surprising for a future disruption niche device exploring the viability of an alternative OS. Even Symbian 3 has widgets and is apparently moving towards better customisation of the desktop beyond its current grid system. Nokia put out the N900 like a ball of clay. They must have been silently observing the community and seeing exactly what's possible. Result: N900 functionality has evolved in all directions way beyond it's original parameters. Surely this community driven evolution of a flexible device is the perfect way of understanding how people use mobile computing devices and seeing what they want when they can almost have anything they want?

Without supplying the new Harmattan device as completely flexible they will learn nothing from it.
