This may not be a question that can be answered right now, but I'll put it up here in case the situation changes before the interview script is finalized.

I'm not really happy with the wording, but what I'm essentially wondering is, how is Nokia going to find a way to make a successful, popular, Linux device without losing what makes Maemo what it is? To date, most Linux-based products I've seen have been niche-market products, or "linux-based", without embodying the spirit of Linux. I sincerely hope that they can pull this off, and if they can tell us anything to reassure us of that, I'd rest easier.
