Well there's embedded in a marketing/product sense and embedded in a technical sense. From a technical point of view, talking about "embedded linux" is somewhat different than talking about most embedded operating systems that are designed to never be upgraded and live most of their lives running one application. From a marketing point-of-view the software is "embedded" into the hardware and those two things combined form the "product." In that sense this is different than your laptop, because the OS is not some separate product (note: it's even a separate product on Macs, since you can buy it separately from the computer).

And this brings me to my final thought of the day: Never expect a company to do *anything* for you after you make a purchase, except honor their warranty. Think like this and you'll never be disappointed.

Now, that said, I will be cranky with Nokia if they integrate hardware-3D-dependent libraries in such a way that makes it impossible to write applications that work on both fremantle and whatever part of fremantle can be made to run on the n8x0 or other devices without hardware 3D.
