Ok, my friend.
But you miss the point
Nokia Tablet is proprietary hardware + software coming from Nokia.
I can't buy another mobile hardware, PDA and install bora, mistral, gregale
and have them all working fine.

So Nokia is selling commercial product, embedded system (hardware + software).

So good job of community at maemo has nothing to do with deadly slow server running maemo.org, owned by Nokia.

Nokia may donate developers with new embedded systems, may arrange training sessions, but profit is made by selling embedded systems to customers at full price.

Just exactly as Apple.com with iPod Touch and iPhone.

Third party developers of application for Nokia Tablet are of key importance to Nokia as embedded system without software, applications has no commercial value at all.

So relations between developers and Nokia are out of question.

The issue are relations between Nokia Tablet product managment and tablet buyers, i.e. final customers paying full price in cash for a final commercial product - hardware + software.

And on my hand I see no interest of Nokia to support final buyers, customers of Nokia Tablet.

Nokia Tablet is still in beta version, problems, bugs are discussed
and Nokia says nothing in public.

So you may have excellent communities of developers, testers, users but what counts is volume sale and profit generated by sale of Nokia Tablets.

It's so easy to understand that poor support, problems with hardware (gps), application installations generate loss or margin profit only.

And you can have communities of Linux developers but please keep in mind, Nokia Tablet is not open hardware.
Nokia Tablet is proprietary hardware and totally useless if not running Nokia proprietary OS.

And to run OS2008 software, applications you have to buy embedded system - hardware, made by Nokia not by competitors, exactly as in the case of Apple's iPhone, iPod Touch.

So support provided by a community is great but refers to software
not hardware issues.

But the problem with Nokia Tablet is hardware and not necessary software, open / free software, developed by the community.

I can request a manufacturer to provide me with a quality product for a price stated and paid but I can't request a developer of free/open software to do anything for me.

All I can do is to beg him/her to dop anything more for free.
Developers of software are nmot paid.
But manufacturer of embedded system/ hardware is paid for its product.
