Hi!
I should be surely sleeping instead of reading you, but couldn't resist.
- The announcement yesterday was mostly about supported hardware? Sure, this is the most delicate part and the stuff many media, analysts and even many of you care primarily about. Good to have a Nokia vicepresident investing the 25 minutes available in his keynote on this (plus the Linux Foundation Gold, which implies a strategic message that I'm not sue the Linux lovers here appreciate. Then we have a Maemo developer session of 2h and a Maemo Summit of 2 days to go through more Fremantle details.
- HSPA/3G support is cool and deep stuff. C'mon. I understand the initial resistance from some of the current core insiders but there is plenty of people out there that never considered a Maemo device and thanks to this will think of it for the first time. Just like the hardware keyboard a year ago. Remember? Many of you didn't like it either but thanks to it (and well, some more stuff) now there is many more brilliant people around here. Also remember, eventually some opponents felt in love when they had the real thing in their hands. On a related note I also said repeated times years ago that I would never get a mobile with a camera and look me now.
- All this "exciting" discussion about data plans and what not is, if you look at it, pure speculation at this point. Maybe even a waste of time? Fremantle is not even in alpha and there is no device announced for it. Costs for data and business models about data today are X, Y, Z. 6 months ago they were different. 1 year ago they were different. How will be they when a device with Fremantle inside comes out?
Definitely time to sleep for me. More in few hours!
