anything that will poison the maemo-philosophy with apple-concepts will make a half-baked wannabe-iphone. not good enough for those who want maemo (like us), not good enough for those who would have bought the iphone, anyway.
Maemo is developed by an entity that makes decisions based on profit. If it doesn't eventually cause Nokia to make money, it will be abandoned and it will be a long time before another company puts so much faith in such an open platform again.

Design is critical in consumer products, and though I'm no fan, Apple is better at it than Nokia.
