I saw the comment as humor, but the author would have to enlighten us. So here is Nokia with already two phone OS's for their devices. They just announce a product with Windows. Why not at add Android as a third phone OS for their device portfolio? For that matter, what about WinMo as a fourth phone OS? It would really complement the booklet. And it's not as if they couldn't handle the support issues.

I'm quite sure ragnar and myself make the same use of the term 'devices', meaning 'mobile devices' = fitting in your pocket.
I just got this Moblin Zone article in my e-mail box this morning. It starts with the following paragraph (emphasis mine):

In June 2009 Intel and Nokia announced a partnership to collaboratively optimize Moblin and Nokia’s Maemo Linux OS for Atom-based netbooks, nettops, MIDs, automotive infotainment systems and cell phones.
If Maemo and Nokia aren't planning anything other than handhelds, someone better let the folks at Moblin know!

EDIT: Maybe they're planning to call it Moblin for the netbooks and Maemo for the handhelds, with the same infrastructure underneath different UIs.

We can argue about user expectations and education all day long, and that will remain true no matter what.

Just watch as Symbian is slowly diminished.

Yup, a lot have been reporting that it'll be $799. Unless the carrier subsidizes it to about $99 (or free), I think it'll fail.

Well just install (K)ubuntu / CrunchBang or any other penguin on it ... and it runs faster even with only 1GB of RAM.

Lots cheaper than the N97 or N900 and far more powerful !

And don't forget hardware is often more expensive in the EU than elsewhere. I don't think you can just use the exchange rate to compare.

I'm sorry. $799 for a netbook with a 1.6ghz Intel Atom processor that can only do 720p, if pushed properly?

Hell no. Nokia is just like Sony... pricing themselves out of the competition.

That's insane. For a $100 bucks more, I can get a better equipped MacBook. Or a much better equipped Dell or... anybody.

$799 USD? What the hell Nokia? I pray that's a typo.

Even if it's because of my ignorance, I could care less about Symbian. It's been easy for me to avoid since Nokia has yet to have a Symbian offering on smartphone hardware I'd actually want. The specs of the N97 were a fail for me from the beginning, and a small amount of phone OS contraction couldn't hurt. Thanks for all of your contributions Symbian, now, good riddance.
