Sure... the new one has Qt. The new one is a new name. The new one is based on a new CPU.

All f'n flawed. No backwards nothing - sorry, Mer ain't ready for primetime yet. Won't be for a while. I'm impressed with what's been done so far, but it's not for me yet.

Seriously, I'd wish some people would wake up and see how messed up things are. You all can't be all in that much mf'n denial or delusion. Sorry to come off as an asshat; however the lack of support now - I know already, it's DEAD - but maaaan, we're talking about epic fail in past upgrades, software.

Nokia can't even keep Skype onboard. And they paid for that port basically... and Skype needs whatever revenue they can get.
That's partially why I gave up on the future of the Nokia device (sadly). It has strong community support, but Nokia's support is kinda offputting.. I'm keeping my eye on Mer though =D. My idea is that I'll boot Mer off an SD later, and for the flash memory just run a bare bones Maemo 4.1 OS with minimal installation of programs (just essentials for my usage). My hope is that the tablet will last me long enough till smartphones drop enough in price and Android gets more established. Right now the only thing I'd really want from the tablet is maybe location aware applications. It does everything else I want to a decent enough level (not as fast as modern smartphones but hey, given its age it performs past my expectations). But that requires an active data and GPS connection. While I only turn on the GPS for navigation and I don't have an active data plan =P.

"Meamo!" sounds like what Zorro would say to catherine zeta jones... after she slaps him for looking at her dirtily...
