I think the problem here is that people consider the Council to be some sort of Trade Union and that if they don't get results they should be out. The reality is that they help in running this forum, relay information from higher up and deliver feedback from us as users. I think they do this having been a member/lurker here since 2007. If they were an absolutely quiet entity then I would agree with the statement.

What we need more of are direct software and hardware Nokia n900 developers to engage this forum and help to drive the device evolution from the inside. Or open up the closed components. QT cross platform apps should make people a little happier too when they arrive. Some symbian compatibility could have been given from the start (its open source and i8910 runs on this CPU) instead of this joke of an app store.
