Mark my words; I predict that, no matter what we might be saying about the form factor described in these (apparently) leaked documents, the actual Maemo 5 devices will change the marketplace forever. Just think of the impact that a fully open Linux phone (including the telephony stack, thank you, oFono) is going to have on the industry!

People who were with me at the Summit can testify that I've been saying this since I heard about it in September 2008. Starting with the lead Maemo 5 device, the mobile industry will never be the same again.

And honestly, I don't think anyone is really ready for the impact it will have. Even with the 9 months of noise Maemo has been making so far.
My worry is the crater size from such an impact
