We'll see how long they will be able to carry that baggage before it becomes a burden ('cause that it certainly will become, sooner or later). The biggest problem of the N8x0 is probably the lack of powervr drivers. Without them, the backporting of the whole dashboard-taskswitcher-launcher paradigm of Maemo 5 would IMHO be an excercise in futility.
