In the former case, they're just being hilarious and I can only shake my head and they should feel shame. In the latter case, I hope Nokia falls flat on its face for BOTH that and the move to Windows Phone 7 and Eflop & Co. can eat dirty tire-marked underwear for all I care. heh
Paranoid about drivers for hardware that everyone is using? Intentionally purchase open-source unfriendly architectures?

Sooooo... either 1) You're totally clueless... or 2) You've been trolling tmo for over two years... or 3) Both.

And please enlighten us where Nokia's going to buy SOCs with competitive, open source mobile GPUs. I'm sure they'd like to know.
