Nokia isn't prone to those type of specific statements, but if they're planning all that stuff, and if they are true to the statements Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo made to the financial community today that "we will execute," well, then they can only stand to gain by clearly mapping out what I as a consumer can expect in terms of updates.

BTW I find this thread excellent for showing the potential and what's possible with the N900 in terms of it being a mobile computer. Still, I think it could be merged with other similar threads.
It is not just Nokia, I can't think of ANY public profit making company that makes anything more than vaugue statements about what is upcoming or when.

The thing about all of the "missing" features is that each one of those presents the market with an opportunity to build and SELL an application to do that (whilst being aware that some future version of Maemo may include that feature by default).
The good thing is that almost all of the code for the Maemo platform is available for potential developers to look at, which makes debugging *much* easier. My understanding is that the bits that are not open, are wrapped around specific hardware, and have API's available.
