You are no longer commenting on the application, you are commenting on the developers. See the difference?.
I was commenting on the impression that the state of the camera application, upon release, makes. It seems perfectly plausible that a device might be rushed to release. We all have seen, I assume, devices that are more and less polished upon release. I think the impression the state of the device's applications make upon release is a legitimate thing to comment on. That's a comment on the device, not on any person.

Also, what I repeatedly said was that the device seems rushed out the door, as far as the camera applications goes. I never referred to the developers specifically. So for all I know some developer somewhere was objecting to that state of things, but Nokia at the end of the day made a decision to go ahead for business or marketing reasons. Obviously the buck stops with Nokia and they are ultimately responsible for all the decisions made that lead to the release of the device, as well as for the state of the device upon release. So it's putting words in my mouth to say that I made any claim whatsoever about the developers. I never referred to the developers once or used the word "developer," when remarking that the camera application seems rushed out the door. In the exactly three places where I did use the word "developer," I was saying positive or neutral things about the developer community.

That said, I apologize if any developer responsible for the camera application felt insulted. It was not my intention. Please take a look at my posts themselves and not the ways they are misrepresented in responses to my posts.
