Yeah--I also hate being told we would have backports and community SSU from Fremantle as answers to FIXED IN FREMANTLE and WONTFIXes, too. So much for unsubstantiated promises and claims of open-source in Maemo. So much for the MeeGo promises too, I suppose.

That doesn't seem very day-to-day for the typical user coming from Maemo/Android/Blackberry/iSplat (i*)/etc. Isn't it still only just kind of, sort of, pre-beta still? It doesn't seem quite settled and baked yet, or did I miss some major milestone?

Agreed. Nokia's blue-headed step-child, the one they never showed loved.
