Well, it's a long-winded question. I won't say too much, but...
... Quoting for instance
Peter
, it's about managing and presenting the first impression the way we want to do it. (I hope nobody is fooling themselves in thinking that any possible product leaks would be done from Nokia on purpose.) You cannot do launches too soon, otherwise you would be like ...
launching the Chevy Volt
.
Second of all it's about avoiding copycats and knock-offs: also a very valid concern in the current marketplace.
Peter's third point I think many people are perhaps missing: "And lastly, you always need to balance early excitement versus influencing your existing sales." You don't want to publish the next greatest thing since sliced bread too early, because then people will start to wait for it and not want to buy current devices. The next thing is usually always better. That's why we do next things.
It's a bit like the
Osborne effect
, I think.
If Apple would announce the iPhone 3G+++ with ... rocket launchers and multitasking and what not, coming in 12 months, many would start to wait for that. And nobody would be really happy: not those people that are waiting, not those that feel already that their current device is outdated (even though it's not!).
Nokia is larger than just Maemo. If Maemo would be a separate company, the considerations might be different.
