No... I never go out, all I have is this forum.

Indeed! Maybe they'll be victims of their own success in the near future, because the Rover will be so great nobody will want to buy the future tablets.

Hey, what are they discussing in the forums of all other smartphone platforms out there? How are symbyan fans going to bring more iphone developers to their platform? How is microsoft going to bring more iphone developers to WinMo? How is moblin going to attract more iphone developers? Android? And what plans does Apple have to maintain the current iPhone developers?

Are we going to see dozens of apple app store clones for each platform? And is there any chance a single one of them would manage to conquer the current iphone developers and userbase?

The iPhone war is over, and Apple won it with the iPhone! Nokia should look to what will be "the next iPhone". It's not about attracting iphone developers, but attracting developers to something in the future that we don't even know exactly how is going to be.

I bought my tablet because it does something my 1100 doesn't do. I will only buy a new Nokia product if it is something that neither my phone or tablet do. And if I want iPhone applications, I will go buy iPhone, and not whatever product Nokia did to try to attract iPhone developers. Cut the middle man.

(of course, if I break one of my products, or if I decide to have a hardware upgrade, I'll have to buy something new...)

And sorry for being a jerk!
