That's nice, but developing those processes are a huge time sink that I do not have. The fact that the community is forced to pick up the pieces from each botched Nokia release is annoying.

The fact of the matter is in a year or two this will all be pretty much moot. Nokia will have squandered more than 3 years in the internet tablet field and be playing catch-up to players like google, Apple, and others if they are even still selling the units.

Right now I can download and develop for both the iPhone and Andriod without having to rebuild my system. Both provide emulators, toolcahins, and documentation that are basically complete and functional. Apple and google have both invested in making their tools attractive to developers by putting the time and effort into design and functionality.

Nokia's shotgun approach to improving the platform has produced what? Canola2, yet another closed application which is having staffing issues right now ( If I'm reading handful right ).
