This may have been already said, but...:

For a community that *demanded* that Nokia release a "hacker edition" of IT2007 for the Nokia 770s, it's a bit ridiculous that they can't officially get a sneak preview release of the real IT2008 into all developers hands, and not just the womworld folk via early hardware.

Even with all the Leopard nonsense that went around with Mac developers not having the release build to test on, they still had pre-GM builds of the actual OS to install -- and not just target to in Xcode.

Not to mention, the N810s are officially in the distribution channel now, so if they are *really* going to release the upgrade at the same time they go on sale...well, honestly I don't see why the extra wait is necessary.

It's just another bump in Nokia getting into the computer (i.e., not mobile) business, but I suppose by the next tablet release they'll finally have figured out how to do this right.
