Just because I have only recently started talking doesn't mean I don't know anything about the project or Nokia. I find it amazing that Nokia themselves independently develop at least three flavors of Linux/BSD.

Maemo, OpenBSD IPSO, and Linux-based IPSO. I believe there's a redhat based variant in there somewhere, but I'm not sure.

I just happen to see problems that are stifling a lot of progress and allowing competitors chip away at their user-base because of it.

I've always been unhappy about their approach to making software accessible. It has the potential to to cause a big headache for customers and I know it first hand when you are on call and some big customer is panicking and screaming and swearing at you on 3 am on a Sunday morning because of a software issue and you can't easily get it from Nokia because their support site and software updates require registration, sponsorship, and human approval before you can maybe get the fix.

For maemo, this isn't something that would likely happen, but when Paypal's $500,000 pair of IP2450's protecting their infrastructure are flapping because of a memory leak that reached critical mass and is threatening to take them offline, I have issues with it.
