N810 awesome, much more solid than I could have ever expected. The keyboard is ok too contrary to what I've read on here, definitely sold on the device and I will definitely purchase one soon.

I'm sure the iphone had a development team of several magnitudes greater than the IT. In fact I seem to remember Quim remarking on the Nokia being surprised at how small of a team it took to get the whole product conceptualized, designed and shipped. I guess my question is that now that its been seen that this device is completely viable why go slow and steady when there are the resources available to push the platform immediately and get a jump on the Androids and Intel MID's.

I also see that Nokia is taking some steps ie officially supporting the product through its developer support programs on Forum Nokia and Nokia Beta Labs support. I didn't ever think about what that meant but it truly confirms the N770 and N800 as "experiments" they were proof of concept devices that found a market.
My last question is I wonder how big of a team is devoted to the touch screen flavor of S60 that is coming out next year? I see that as a huge challenge to Maemo. Is it not better to unify resources under a single touch screen platform and a single keypad oriented platform?

For the record I much prefer Maemo to S60 and hope that Nokia takes it as far as it can go.
