....maybe they don't care...but that would mean they eliminate the non-geek market if they choose not to compete...of course that's the lion's share...to me, the N800 feels like the jazz music market in relation to the music market as a whole...very small dedicated niche...an elite group...
I thought the 770 was the test model! Maybe they're following the same pattern as Microsoft, version 3 will be awesome!

My hope is that now Intel are getting involved with Maemo, and Hildon has been spun out to be a full community project (with input from Intel) things should improve far more rapidly than in the past. However, dropping a few hints would be nice, like for instance if this UI is possible or likely to appear on NITs in a future update (I'm guessing it's possible but that's all it is - a guess).
