Al,

I think I know what you mean. I keep expecting there to be more than what I find. But I forget that there are no articles in the press because Nokia's not saying anything. They aren't giving out devices. They aren't advertising. No users are writing about it or sharing their experiences.

Everything that is happening now is happening BEFORE the storm. Once the devices are given to reviewers, you'll see the articles. And when the release hits, you'll see the ads and tons of me-too announcements on the web.

Our job will be to stimulate things when that happens to extend the splash so that it has an effect on more people. The more people buy, the more developers will come in sooner, the more commitment Nokia will make to it, the better the next generation OS will be.

Did I leave anything out? Well, maybe: the lower the price will drop.
