My hope isn't that all the power will be released in the Internet Tablets, but that POLS will be better implemented and the things one wants to do often will be made easier to use.

(Following the principle of least surprise means that when the user doesn't know what to do, he or she tries what seems most logical (based on how everything else works) and, sure enough, it works somewhat the same in this circumstance. )
From whatever side you look at it, root access is bad to a normal user and it is not easily accessible on a desktop system too. Yes, Nokia took one step further to disable accidental root access by default and i second that. No power user can find hard to install the one package needed to enable it.

VFAT is not a very bad, but not very good decision too, but at least Nokia could have modified the application manager to allow install access there, the current situation is just wrong.
