Krisse,

I'm sad to hear you're leaving. In my opinion the tablet school is very important and of very high quality. Even though I should probably be classified as a tech user (and Linux user for about as long as there's been Linux), I've read all the articles there and if a person has a problem which is covered by an article it's definitely the best place to point them to. To me, what you have created is possibly the most important and genuinely useful web site for for the platform - it immediately propels new users into adept users.

I don't think it's a given that the maemo platform / internet tablets will fail. It's just that they can't, and won't, ever reach the sales of phones. Nor do they have to, to succeed. Right now they cover a niche which will forever be out of reach of the kind of phones that most people want, because of the size. At the other side we have notebooks, which can't cover the niche either. Particularly when on the move, with no bag. But not everybody needs this product.

In fact, there's almost nothing in the whole world which can even imagine reaching the sales figures of mobile phones.. almost everyone in my country aged 7 or above now has a mobile phone, and the total sale is much higher than the actual population. It's just the wrong product to compare sales numbers to.

Unless Nokia missteps badly (and of course they could, as Sony did with their clie PDAs), I don't see why they would have to give up the product.

Whatever happens, thanks a million for the Tablet School! And I think there will still be many people wishing for more articles in the future..
