Hi,

I am new here and as a non-native English speaker, I apologize for possible misspellings in advance.

I wonder that nobody has commented on the long "vertical OS" part of the first review. If this "vertical development" is true, the N900 is just the first gadget of much bigger family. We should see Maemo phones, NIT's/MIT's, tablets and netbooks in the future... or should we?

Another interesting point is lately announced Nokia-Microsoft cooperation project on mobile office development. Should we see MS office package and sync with Maemo in the future or is it just for S60? How long will the S60 hold the place of business workhorse? Can Maemo take its place?

I would very gladly see wider selection of hardware and software for Maemo platform. Many years NIT hardware was the best in its category (superior screen), but not any more. There is still not enough applications for Maemo. The platform needs also the support from the commercial software side I think and right now the Maemo OS popularity is just too small. Out there are very good PIM's, e-readers (for DRM) and many other special applications, not available for Maemo. This will change soon, _if_ the Maemo family grows bigger.
