So maemo news said at the beginning of the month that the hacker edition was on the horizon and that its imminent release could be measured in weeks, seeing how its gonna be almost a month now, can we expect it anytime soon? Or do you think "measured in weeks" means we can count all the way up to 52?

I guess you are being optimistic... up to now there was only one person working on-and-off on 2007HE, as an informal project, and he's probably taken some holidays, too. Certainly there was no indication of the *number of digits* that would be needed to count 'em weeks :-)

At the moment is seems to be that more Nokia 770 newcomers appear in the forum than N800 newcomers . Is it the price ... ?

A logical step would be to use the HE 2007 as base for a "free" distro. Are there people out there to free the currently closed source components ? Hello !!!

The current pricing push made by Nokia to clear out its old stocks has finally got the N770 to the price point that many people find attractive. Even if they wouldn't of considered an internet tablet before, for the price you can get the N770, people are starting to 'experiment' which can only be a good thing for the IT form factor.

Confirmed! I bought one last week for about 75 pounds (still haven't recieved it yet though). At that price, for the actual hardware you get, the offer was too good to pass up.

The influx of new Nokia N770 users will hopefully keep development on this device alive. I would be interested, from a developers point of view (developer from a totally different field though!), what new users are wanting from the platform that isn't already there as I look around for new projects to do. I already have a few idea's but I'm welcome to suggestions. Maybe a new thread would serve that purpose better.
