It is pretend separation, rather than real separation, so it will not change anything.

Will free meego be able to make a phone call on N900 successor, or will it depend on some binary only user space program from Nokia?

Will free meego be able to use GPS on N900 successor, or will it depend on some binary only user space program from Nokia?

Will free meego be able to charge the battery on N900 successor, or will it depend on some binary only user space program from Nokia?

Nokia will probably provide "free drivers" as we have now the phonet driver and used to have retu and tahvo drivers, but will we be able to actually use them?

In short, will there be any difference between the current state and the future state?
