Nokia wastes resources in too many things, symbian, maemo, meego, and a huge list of iron pieces called cellular phones.
In the new millennium hardware is secondary to os, apps and market, and I wonder why that simple principe is so difficult to understand.
In a pub two nokia users speak about beer becouse their phones are too different, in the same pub an iphone user and an ipod user speaks about their gadgets (and I hope about beer too!) and about applications they are going to buy.

The ipod has the same os of the iphone, while we here are still speaking on n900 meego support, crying about the delay of pr 1.2, the laking of voice assistend navigation in maemo, and so on.

And finally, all that closed part of the OS, drivers and apps, the secrets about roadmap, betatesting and so on do not involves the FLOSS community in a proper manner, while profit developers prefers to invest their time in learning cocoa touch.

The only real innovation I see in the right direction is the borning of the unified Qt SDK and the improvement of the ovi store, that should attracts users and developers, but that will take time, in the mean while Nokia itself has to provide apps and os capability to not lose market shares, but I only see new iron piece coming out month after month.
