Don't go pointing the finger at Nokia. Or would you rather they had just made one big / partition and left it at that.

Devatingly good point about app design relative to the device. A concern though is does this mean significant rewrites of current apps, rather than the great and "quick" ports of current apps we were expecting?

A lot of great apps already on Maemo and Linux. Shame if this becomes an obstacle to proliferation of apps to Maemo 5.
