How about they simply run a GOOD BUSINESS and stop the pretenses that they're somehow improving their product with closed-source drivers of all things. Additionally, it's more than the UX and and drivers, as I recall. Wasn't there a LOT more closed-source involved in the whole basic system itself as well? (ala Maemo, which has PLENTY of closed-source)
This guy just never stop now does he?I agree about some of your "concerns" about Harmattan but saying that it contains way too much closed source its just plain stupid. Of the base system it's more or less just the swipe ux and the graphical driver that is proprietary. And as you don't seem to like the ux anyway what's the problem? Better run the ce instead which is completely open, except for the gpu driver. And I agree with Nokia here as if they open up their ux some asian copy cats might as well launch an M9 or something even before Nokia gets the N9 out the doors. Nokia need to get their investment back. and fast.

if they open-source the DRIVER for a piece of hardware?
Then if they release the UI, it is pretty conceivable that it will be reused, yes, especially in the targeted markets (developing countries).

Sheesh and I was thinking that Nokia lacked proper advertising, this seems like some kind of sequel to the Da Vinci Code. (Not really mass marketing advertising, only for the brilliant)
First impressions of the vids were: yay-meegoadvertising, weird, liars, (not shortest ads) unconclusive but a real whoa when high
Imma not break my head over this, I grant it to you all for all this decoding, and gotta love the klingon reference some pages ago!
Even is a N9 can be won, I bet there are Devs out there who can prove themselves more worhy as earliest adapters. Better get power kernel ready for when I get mine sometime in december

In the former case, they're just being hilarious and I can only shake my head and they should feel shame.
In the latter case, I hope Nokia falls flat on its face for BOTH that and the move to Windows Phone 7 and Eflop & Co. can eat dirty tire-marked underwear for all I care. heh

Sooooo... either 1) You're totally clueless... or 2) You've been trolling tmo for over two years... or 3) Both.
And please enlighten us where Nokia's going to buy SOCs with competitive, open source mobile GPUs. I'm sure they'd like to know.
