Indeed. And what do some people do? They get on their high horses and start bashing him.

I wish people would start thinking about Nokia's actions from a COMMERCIAL perspective. They run a business, not a damn charity, and it irks me that almost every other post here is about someone whinging about something Nokia "should" have done in their opinion, without understanding that the key to a successful product is based on the 80/20 rule. Focus 80% of your project resources to address the top 20% of users/ commonly-desired functions, etc.

Though I do not use the Nokia Internet Tablet Video Converter, I do appreciate the fact that they have added Vista support, drag and drop queuing, etc to the new version, keeping in mind that the really smart users out there are the ones on Linux and the man-on-the-street users are the ones who use Windows because it came with their Dell/PackardBell/etc or because their office machines runs Windows.

'Smart' users don't need to use this software, they probably have other means, using tablet-encode or any of the available 3rd party freeware to do their video encoding/conversion. It's the 'common', i.e. 80% of users out there who aren't THAT savvy and who do not frequent forums like these who count on Nokia to release software that they can use easily, people like my mum or my sister, people who want to focus on getting simple results like video and MP3 and internet working rather than trying to boot from MMC, running KDE, etc.

80% of the 'common' people out there who bought into the promise of the Nokia Internet Tablet probably find that it works for them. Easy to set up with their Wifi access point at home or in the office, easy to set it up to work with their mobile phone, web browsing works, VoIP works on GoogleTalk and Gizmo, POP email works as do webmail services, music plays back fine, internet radio works, video podcasts download, etc.
