I'm going to count on it. You can find several threads here with people already discussing
how to implement DSLR style camera control and computational photography..
TI offers API documentation for the camera module, so we should be able to hack it.

I agree that Nokia should have those features on a established platform
but AFAIK it's the first Maemo device with a camera.
With the N910/N920 at the latest they're supposed to offer all those features.
For the release date Nokia should focus on getting the basic functionality working properly. Extra software features may be added later.

I'm going to buy the N900 for the potential of an open platform,
not for the built-in features of a pre-release device.
