So, why is this NOT in the NokConv post? Nokia seems to be working as 101 little companies, no harmony whatsoever in marketing.

"The Nokia MeeGo products will be based on capacitive screens, while the N900 has resistive touchscreen, therefore official support is not provided. However, to support our current N900 users and developers, we already released MeeGo 1.0 core for N900 on day/month and we will be releasing MeeGo 1.0 w mobile UI developer release for the Nokia N900 on 1st June. We will be releasing at least 3 more minor and one major Maemo 5 update in 2010." - clear, factual, positive, forward looking, committed

vs.

"It’s really about ensuring that you have the best possible experience designed for the features on your Nokia N900 device. Nokia realises this news may be a disappointment for some, rest assured that Nokia will continue to support the core Maemo software on your Nokia N900, as evidenced by the PR 1.2 (V10.2010.19-1) update available today." - soft, mishmashing, burning in the negative part, avoiding commitment (but claiming it).
