Here's a question, and I don't know how to better phrase it so please feel free to edit but keep the core idea:

Nokia seems to be going in two directions. However, these two directions do seem as if they will meet at a head. There's the transition from a device to a services company with Ovi; and then there's the change of a closed development mindset with S40 and Symbian S60 to the open source/open community nature of the new Symbian and Maemo. Its almost as if Nokia is setting itself up to be a RedHat of mobile open source. And that isn't a bad thing if the services piece can come together and be totally seamless inside and outside of Ovi. So here's my question: is "mobile" really the best playground for a company which is basing its value on the services it provides and the relationships that it has maintained? Or, in Nokia's way of looking beyond what we see now, does the pointing to Maemo, open source, and this services-orientation point to a key element of technology-as-culture that we miss because we don't have the same view that a company such as Nokia has? If the latter, can you elaborate on what Nokia sees, and why this viewpoint is significant for a community like Maemo to understand.

Sorry for the length, the question is deep and has a lot of backing needed. Thanks for proposing to ask the questions from us and present those.
