So I hope we'll see future devices and generations of Maemo moving even closer to the desktop. In an ideal world, every popular desktop-application should be in the extras repository, properly hildonized.

Yes, having a device that can run desktop framworks and rock from there is a good idea to have. A better one to use. However, we have to be careful not to mix the UI and UX of a 5in mobile to the UI and UX of a 5in computer.

Ideal world says IT can exist in the right context that the user needs, and accessories (docks, wireless keyboards, high speed wireless connects, etc) accent that and help it morph to what is needed without degrading the experience.

If this is what Nokia is doing, then no, they aren't late at all, just a step ahead of where half of the folks that like them are thinking near-term
