I am not so sure. First, Nokia can generate hype. They have generated quite some attention about some of their phones. It is just that maemo is not pushed by their marketing department. Second, one can make quite a lot of money without hype.

Really this is about recognising that the whole picture is changing. Lucky us, or maemo would finished as the sharp zaurus has. Nokia made exactly the same mistakes. If the picture wasn't changing, I would not be hopeful at all. But it is. The interesting question is just: where would the Net be in a year or two? (I've given some pointers) Then we can try to figure out where we fit in.

Maybe the simple question is: "what do non geek people do with a tablet device? "
