If you watch that section again, I'm pretty sure that he's actually talking about the Symbian OS.

They are talking about how Nokia hasn't been pushing their smartphone platform here in the US.

That's actually a pretty common criticism of Symbian, that it's too complicated.

Aside from their complaints about the touchscreen (which to be honest, folks on this board should prepare to hear lots more once it launches, whether right or wrong), they didn't really have anything bad to say about Maemo.

I'd like to discuss another comment by Paul Miller, to wit:

"I don't think Nokia thinks we can comprehend their smartphone operating system and I think they might be right."

Is the Maemo 5 UI still too complicated for the average consumer who confuses Linux with Charlie Brown's friend?
