I kind of suspect that the Maemo folks are not so happy about this leakage.
I for one start feeling sorry for downloading the firmware (I used a different method than looking for a MAC address) ahead of time.
I don't know what legal issues there may be inside Nokia, but if they delayed the update for the N800 to December there MUST be a reason (either "logical" or "commercial").
And we all went against this. This is a statement for a fact.....

One issue with using the wayfinder map program on the N800 is that there isn't enough storage to download any maps over about 100MB in size as it uses the internal memory. And I can't see anyway to tell it to use any other storage. Unless knows a way to clone OS2008 to an SD card I suppose?

I don't feel sorry for Nokia by itself, I feel sorry for the Maemo team and I hope this leakage doesn't hurt the relationship they are building with the open source community (us) and, more important, I hope it doesn't hurt the "view" that a huge commercial company like Nokia has about the open source (and that brought us this mostly open-sourced device).
But, indeed, they should be already prepared for this things to happen, but I still feel some kind of "sorryness" and I can't stop it.
And yes, I am still running the OS2008 on my N800.
Waiting for a reaction from the Maemo team, I haven't seen anything yet.
