True, but why is Year 5 going to be so different from Year 4, which had Years 1, 2, and 3 to learn from?

It's not as much the browser not good enough, but also the web not developing better mobile specific sites. Surfing a site in its desktop native version is nice and all but a mobile customized one is more efficient and can be tailored.

What I would like to see is a simultaneous release of a netbook and an inexpensive tablet. Or would two "ultra mobile computers" fight each other even if with very different shapes? Will it be just Rover now and a netbook next (north hemisphere) summer then another US$500 tablet a year from now? Does it really have to be a single maemo product released every now and then? Was it like this with Symbian?

With this new device, Nokia is looking to attract a much larger—and, thus, mainstream—audience. With the increase in users you're going to see many more developers, in particular, you're going to see many more developers targeting that new mainstream audience.
It's really as simple as: more users equals more applications.

(BTW, Quim, good luck with the launch and all, whenever it is.)
