I also don't like how the whole step 4 thing went down, it could have been said in the context of 'look at this amazing device its crazy how much better it is than EVERY OTHER DEVICE out right now' and then talked about how things were only going to get better as development continues on the platform. Instead of essentially telling the mainstream to wait till step 5. I thought that was strange.

If anything, this is that "turning the big ship around" that's been hinted to around these parts. I can't call this "exciting news" but to see more than one phone that I'd consider for use/owning made by Nokia is unprecedented for me. Usually it's the top of the line or near it. Now, there's more than one option that captures my attention.

Where do you get that from? Perhaps that's behavior on the desktop side, but I've never heard of it before.

No, that's not what I'm talking about. He says nothing at all about Skype scanning your web browser favorites. Where did you get that from?
strace
The 5th step will entail refining the mobile desktop's usage for mobility, defining the services that audience wants the most, and integrating Qt to bring all of the Nokia screens, which are featurephones, smartphones, tabletphones (or whatever this new segment will come to be named), smartbooks, and netbooks/desktop PCs, under one development umbrella. It will allow integrating of the paradigm created on all of these venues as a whole into a seamless experience, building on the Nokia/Ovi name, and building new expectations for our personal computing devices.
It is important that S60/Symbian be a focus, because as S30 showed, experiencing peak sales AFTER S30 development stopped, so will S60/Symbian. It already is optimized, while Maemo isn't (see no autorotation of the UI, no focus on one handed usage, no battery optimization). The N900 will be the testbed to make the Harmattan launch completely prepared for the phone environment and active mobile consumer.
And be patient, guys. Maemo Summit will be the real show...
