I think Fremantle is more interesting because they're the only OS in this marketspace that is aiming for the second group (with a suitably flashy, friendly interface) but with an infrastructure that makes the first group happy, too.

I get the impression that Nokia is finally going to put some of its "mobile phone industry leader" muscle behind this release. Unlike the current Maemo devices, Fremantle isn't going to be a geek toy.

But we'll see.
