Dang.. I guess I have rely on my ability to walk through the walls (of PR people) then...
You know the difference of hardware and software upgrades as everyone else knows it. There is also difference between licensed software and OS, which I think is also known by majority of readers here. No need to confuse these.
This device, beeing Internet Tablet, is propably more than any other device you have dependent of the world outside its covers. Bug fixes, security fixes, changing protocols, compatibility over the net, new features on the net - almost everything except mahjong can break on it or change. Who will fix it if it's authors have no intrest any more? I don't blame developers, but Nokia, who is accumulating unnecessary work to those who donate their time.

Just to humor you Texrat, I wonder what would be Nokias reaction, if N800 Opera would be filtered out of the Os2007 application sites and all programs would need root access and manual library installation untill Nokia makes consumer version of Os2007/770, so that access to N800 applications would effectively been limited only to developers?
