Texas Instruments, Imagination Technology, STMicroelectronics, etc. In particular, TI is the one to pay particular attention to here

They could have chosen another manufacturer (though I doubt there are any with the same price/performance/power consumption level and fully documented).
Also, I think that nokia could have put more pressure on its suppliers than some lone hackers in their basement, but they didn't, so while they're not 100% guilty, they're at least 50% guilty

That it does; and while I don't really want UM on my IT till I learn more, having a shell replacement that fits what these screens show would be quite nice to have. Like Canola, it seems to leverage the screenspace and touch-ability of the ITs nicely.

They don't really have any control over this, they can't just open up stuff that they're using under license. Nokia isn't really the person to ***** about to this.

Is there an official statement from Nokia anywhere or are you just guessing?
Secondly they can choose the chips for their devices and they have chosen (if you are right) three times the wrong ones.
Not really. I mean, they could have, but it wouldn't make one damn lick of sense. They're big partners with TI, so they get big discounts, and they know TI's hardware.
I also can guess. You got a cheap Nokia tablet with a developper code for porting a linux app to linux. Now you are a Nokia fan.

Er, pressure their big, important business partners so a few thousand Linux hackers can maybe have a slightly more open device?
Yeah, nice thought, but Nokia lives in reality.

There actually might be hope for MID on n8xx devices. According to the article, they are in the process of porting to ARM with help from nokia.
