Why does using a touchscreen with your fingernail even matter?

But a stylus does me fine.

It may not be written in stone but it may be written in a legal document. The problem is that contract which is still being kept close to Nokias chest. This contract, I have always suspected has an exclusive OS agreement. This means that even if Meego sells well, Nokia, Elop, the board, or even the stockholders can't do anything about it. This exclusive OS agreement is as plain as day to me, Elops talk about "beating android our number one priority" may even suggest it's a performance based agreement. No sensible CEO would put all their eggs in one basket without an incentive. No sensible CEO would say no to the fastest selling OS because "they want to be different", no sensible CEO would scrap a handset being released to the general public soon because "it's OS is not ready or progressing quick enough" in favour of a handset who's release is even further behind. You need incentives for actions like this, to me this "future disruption" is the end of the exclusivity contract, the ability to move to your own OS again as a safety net if the contract didn't work in their favour or renewal falls through.
Big one is that there's still not certainty about Elop ever saying N9 is the last MeeGo ph.
A non-English Euro rag was interviewing him when he reportedly said this.
But the English translation is open to interpretation, & we don't even know if what he said was reported correctly.
It's not conclusive until there's a comment direct from Nokia in a conference or whatever.
And I find it odd if there's an exclusivity agreement, why this has happened by now.
CBF'd explaining what other aspects I disagree with & why, so tired of writing crap.
Just want this thing to be out already, so I can properly assess it over time.

Well, it shouldn't work with fingernail if the skin doesn't touch it. Fingernail is not conductive. If it works, there's something wrong.
I've heard there are screens that combine both technologies.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touchscreen
Unless one of the mainstream tech's listed above are 'kinda like' capacitive + resistive.

The contract with Intel was to produce a Meego handset, this is well known. It means the N9 is not a product of love from Nokia but an obligation. Also explains why Elop's saying the OS is not ready and putting down this OS in every statement he makes yet still releasing a handset with it.
But it's certainly not for engineers who put many years of blood, sweat, & tears into it.
Intel agreement was gradually morphing into a wonderful way to leverage their work even further, & amplify it.
We can see that now when we try to understand the MeeGo community, & how it interrelates with Harmattan.
In theory it's been killed, but in practice it looks like work proceeds as was originally planned, at least for now.

Very deep analysis, man.
Now that you've put the blame on him, what do you suppose we should do about it?

Here's what I'm trying to say;
Haven't you seen all those threads talking about Elop? About Nokia axe-ing 1000s of staffs and about key maemo personnels (Nokia side, not community) leaving, about Elop's handling of N9's launch, the subsequent Sea ray debacle, etc, etc?
That's basically them talking about what you're talking about today, a few weeks ago.
.Work it out for yourself because someone needs to help this community
i am done with helping.

MeeGo is a raging success Elop should be decapitated for ditching it 
Nokia's current position would not much different even if they kept MeeGo, dont know if you've all noticed but there is precisely 0 MeeGo smartphones on the market so people who keep saying it would of saved Nokia are deluded and Clutching at Straws

Then: "But we should ask ourself if its not already to late and also they'r CEO said it in february when going WP7...." Everytime I heard those ****ing statement I blame MrFLop and the directorsboard not the engineers
and Maemo.It is MrFlop who killed Meego and also Symbian. No all testers is like the damn phone but at the same time kill it when drawing those "conlusions".
Then they said something about apps. What I dislike is they didnt say a word about the facts that all QT apps for symbian can work on this device.
However I must say Nokia has WAY better maps than google. So I guess thats something good for WPx users in near future....
