YES! Thank you! I believe he has the RIGHT idea. Bubbling up anticipation just to dash all hopes by failing to deliver on all the hype ruins things. It's better to simply announce something new almost as soon as it is ready for purchasing. This also gives them the opportunity for last-minute tweaks or changes without stirring up discussions about how they failed at something--and so a last-minute tweak was needed. It helps to save face. My only concern is whether they'll take advantage of that to actually compete, and whether they'll bother to even seek opinions on what makes a product that people want instead of plowing ahead with making what they THINK people want.
On the whole.. I agree that it's good news!

"Cause frustration" = consumers not interested in buying what's being released?

i have to admit: it really helped when preorderers started nagging a year ago about the delays.
Now the absolute time is exactly the same than before but you just don't know about device x before first trucks are loaded in the factory...

Can we get some stats from Reggie... what are the %age of threads that has reference to Apple or iPhone in this forum?
There's some variant of godwin law going on here that any thread that goes on long enough will get apple creep in the end.
Obviously, any thread that references 'market', 'competition' or starts off on an idiotic trajectory will get its Apple on the first page.

A lot of people including myself were surprised that during Nokia World MeeGo device was not announced but after reading this article and what new CTO (Rich Green) said it makes sense and to be honest I'm happy
p.s. Maybe we will see some love towards N900 from Nokia's new exec team? I wonder if council would consider asking Nokia about bringing offical MeeGo to N900. All bold decisions regarding N900 were made by previous execs afterall
p.s.s. Those who are too lazy to read whole article here is the part I liked the most
The quieter you become the more you are able to hear
"I'm a N900 user, can I haz Flash 10 plz?!11!?"
