I did not vote because I feel I ve been not on the tablet boat for enough time. Is like living in a country for enough time, you have to gain your rights.
I missed to follow all the maemo meetings, the evolution of the tablets philosopy, the probal painfull progressive obsolencence of 770,n800 and now the n810, each new os released.
I joined pretty late the family (end of 2008) and the hype around new maemo5 and new tablet is always being high. My 1st and only OS is diablo and will probably be the last
I like to learn a device and have to deal with hw/sw limits and manufacter choices. I dont stop playing with the actual hardware (and os) just because (maybe) in the future another piece of hardware will 'solve' everything .
A lot of works being done on tablets and ITT is a great source for nearly everything I need to keep doing my s*its. Im not an OS guy (I think the os should be as minimal as it can and should be ROCK SOLID) so im not really involved in OS developings, Im not a linux guy,opensourceobsessed philisopher, so the (amazing) stunts to bring ubuntu,mer,debian dont really appeal me. Im not a gadgeeter follower so what happen outside is preatty meanless (android,iphones, window mobile, palm,palm???? ) just inspirational source of ideas; im not a marketing freak, i cant care less of articialy build hype, wacky laserlight show on tittis in latex or follow random speechs of douche designers and mamagers (lucky seem there are not so many in Finland but they have imported someone from the rest of the world).
I dont have any real reason to use a tablet, I cant use for my job, I dont have a budget to buy next tablet (s*it i dont even have the budget to buy any decent n60 device to replace my dying motorola).
I can't see any good reason to vote the council since Im the worste customer and community member Nokia and Maemo could aspire to have.
One request i have would be to have access at every documents/manual/file nokia have about the hardware and software of the N810 (god how I loved the old computer/tv manuals with the componets schemes...)
Anyone in the council insanily brave enough to ask this to Nokia for me?
