Just examples. My point was have these OS releases really been "oh wow" updates? Did they really get you talking to non-owners about the device again? Or excited about using your tablet in a new way? It's Nokia's OS and it's their updates that lead and enable the community to do great things with their devices, and they've been taking a slow, deliberate and conservative approach that they've been called out on many times.

Because it's not sold as a pocket Linux computer, but as an "internet experience." I bought my first tablet because of Nokia's mobile expertise, and because it running Linux meant new and interesting apps would be plentiful. But I did expect *some* leadership in app design in the vein of S60 projects like Widsets, Share Online, Nokia Search or Podcasting from Nokia but instead got a beta of Video Center that seems to have been abandoned.

Ultimately, It's the core experience -- an 800px wide "full" web browser with Flash -- that keeps me using it, but honestly that core experience hasn't grown much since November 2005. And that core experience is owned by Nokia and theirs to change.

Things will improve for the community with Mer, but that doesn't change my response -- that looking back it was the software, not the hardware, for me. I'm glad Nokia is starting to get this right now, but yeah, it does still leave us with a lot more waiting.
