No, but we're at stage 4/5, Maemo 5 is a heavy upgrade compared to Maemo 4, and anything you said being a disadvantage to Maemo Phone would also be a disadvantage for Maemo Tablet.

The product sold is an end result of all kind of features and aspects. Ofcourse, some will be missed by the general public, perhaps some you mentioned.

I'm talking from a consumer's voice. I don't have to give anything a chance that immediately does not grab my attention. In fact, it loses my attention.

A Maemo phone does not grab any part of my attention. Seems way too "me-too" for something right now.
You chat a lot about something which doesn't grab your attention.

Strange you didn't say the same when you saw Exchange mentioned though.

Such support is a necessary evil. It is a matter of supporting a defacto/proprietary standard popular with the general public Maemo is increasingly trying to cater to. You can see the result of (lack of) support for that in Linux server and desktop segments; Samba and OpenOffice.org are perfect examples of this.

I have my own music database perfectly sorted, and I also have iTunes to have my iPod database perfectly sorted. They're not mutually exclusive.
