iirc, the n810 is still step 2. And the steps are neither software nor hardware based, again iirc. Basically, its some kind of nebulous plan that by now may well have been altered...

Sorry, I'm afraid I don't remember.
Sometime around last november / december.
After the big announcement (or in it ?) of maemo 5, I think.
Check the threads in ITT where upcoming, and then announced, maemo 5 was discussed.

Possibly it was maemo 5 that was called step 3. ?.

to be honest, i am starting to suspect it was just a saying to indicate that nokia was in for the long haul when it came to the tablets, rather then some side project they would drop at the first moment of trouble.

kinda like those 5 step programs to get something done with ones life...
(not the most confidence building comparison maybe, but still...)

That talks about the "5th iteration of Maemo" - which means Maemo 5, i.e. Fremantle which'll be running on Rover. Unless I missed it on a quick re-review, there's nothing there which refers to the 2005/2006 memes of Nokia's "5 step plan" for Maemo devices.

However, it's been made clear that market conditions have changed; and any "5 step plan" conceived in 2005 has not survived unchanged into 2009.

Not I. When I got my 770 in late 2005, I had a Sharp Zaurus C760 which was already a couple of years old. Although its hardware showed its age, using it felt much snappier than OS2005 on the 770...

It's too bad that nokia will break compatibility with it's previous tablets with this new release.

It's not really "broken". Pretty much anything should be pretty much recompilable. However, we (as a community) are raising the bar for Extras' applications so that apps should be updated to the new HIG, development standards and UI controls available to them.

I think that someone in this thread once estimated that there were a million tablet owners out there, or some similarly giant number. That seemed unlikely to me at the time, but -- does anyone know how many unique visitors have come to this site, approximately? I doubt if a million have.

How many iPod owners do you think have ever been to the apple.com site? My wife never has -- she doesn't care. She has a device that works well enough with iTunes (in Windows 2000 for that matter).

On top of that, how many tablet owners do you think have gone to the nokia.com site? Probably a lot more than have come here. But, most likely, still much less than the actual customer base.
