Oh geez ppl.. it's just business for crying out loud.
Get with the program.. understand and accept this reality, and your world will be easier to understand and you can be more effective in making changes.
PS: If only this thing comes with a core2duo level CPU...

This thing was probably started by a different part of the company that has no knowledge of Maemo whatsoever.

It would make sense that Nokia had something extra expensive and shiny to put in the expensive corner of the shop for the executives to buy just because they can... But this thingie isn't expensive enough, is it?

What does 'favour the other' mean in this context ? Not offer at all ? Discourage people buying the alternative ? Try to better explain the differences to customers ?
At the end of the day I don't think Joe Computeruser is religious about Microsoft. He just wants to get his stuff done. Hardcore Linux evangelists can preach until they're blue in the face that he can, but it's gonna take more than that to unseat the status quo. Not defending it, just recognizing it objectively.

With nokia's clout in the developing markets this is going to be a big hit. I am sure most of the people in developing markets have no idea about netbooks and for them nokia is the first company making netbooks.... just like iphone is the first smart phone for most of the ignorant americans.

Nokia industrial design applied to a small laptop is a win for me.
Ovi stuff, and having access to my files and sms's etc, whether I am on my computer or phone I really like. Nokia has the software to make it work and now they are just adding the hardware part.
I have been waiting months to buy a netbook/laptop and Nokia has finally brought out the one I want.

I'm OS agnostic. I use Windows XP for deskbound work, Maemo for mobile work, S60 for yakking. I see no holy grail for vertical scaling-- yet. But I'm betting it will be more likely open source than closed when it manifests.
