Could happen . . . but it seems extremely unlikely, as that'll mean support for the WiMAX N810* will last less than a year, and we all know exactly how big the riots will be if that happens.

Nokia's insanity could play into letting this happen, but, if there's any sane reasoning going on in there, it wont. Support for the N810 is free support for the N800, so making us unpack the FIASCO image and flash each piece individually seems to be about the dumbest thing they could do. This is Nokia, though.

This is what I see happening (though if 4.2 ends up being called Elephanta and support ends there I'm really gonna have to get serious about that trout walloping expedition). They have to know dropping support for the N810 after just a year (even less for the WiMAX version) will get them into just as much trouble as they did with the 770—more, even, since they effectively promised us it wouldn't happen again (in spirit if not, now, technically) and there are a lot more people to piss off now.

*Can we agree on a good abbreviation for the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet with WiMAX™ now? I'm really not interested in typing out "WiMAX N810", "WiMAX tablet" or "WiMAX version" for much longer. Would N810W work?
