That is what I'm interested in as a lay person. I let you expert work on the more complicated stuff that I'm not up on.
How about making some predictions of your own Gen.
You seem to regularly hit the mark.
What do you think of my other predictions especially release of N900.?

Ha. Nokia seems pretty dead set on making me wrong these days. . . .

Well, they've mostly laid the timeline out for us already. There's no way they'll ship it with HSPA disabled.

But it's always a fun trip for me...

The reason I said disabled maybe, not fully functional is better, is that there's way too much work on the other parts of software to make the aggressive release timelines they laid out. Qgil said they are starting to hire software people. Personally I would have done that six months ago but then I have a US based management style and not european management approach.
When I bought my N800 the camera software was lacking and it still does almost two years later. Same for N810 and gps. People still like the other features enough to by those products because the other features give them hope.
Personally I like having hspa but if its not fully operational I can wait. Give me two full sdhc slots, much faster processor, hd camera and graphic acceleration and I'm happy till the other components are ready for primetime. If I bought and Apple I would be pissed if it wasn't all fully functional but this is linux so I expect delays. No insult to linux platform.

Come to think of it if I was Nokia I would go ahead and release the wimax version next month with some Fremantle or next big Diablo to test out and then April - March 2009 release N900 with full out Fremantle.
Care to make any predictions Texrat.

Read: starting to hire MORE software people.

EDIT: no more predictions. I have already received one cautionary email.

I stand corrected. But American management tends to act in a more completely aggressive charge full ahead manner than the Europeans more methodical approach. Both in the end both get to the same conclusion (market domination) its just the approach is different. Nokia seems to be like an assassin, whereas Apple is more like the calvary. One picks off targets one at a time the other goes after all the targets.
I'm looking forward to qt apps.

Check their excuse why they did not update Diablo SDK repository with sources after latest SSU update

Sorry. I hope it wasn't me.
Strategic and senior management is my speciality.

I would pass on to your bosses that they release the wimax soon with next big Diablo and use it to test Fremantle as it comes along. I'm sure they will have changed the processor to the new family for wimax edition.

Please note no one has provided me any info on anything I have predicted. Its the way I as an American executive would steer the launches. I'm not looking for you or anyone else at Nokia to compromise your positions. As you said its fun.
Personally I'm happy with whats been announced. Just make sure it has two full sdhc cards or it won't sell. That's one of the major things that sets tablets apart from the other players. don't go there Gen.

PE2?

Whats this short for? Pseudo-Elephanta?

Thanks fanoush.
Glad they decided to wait for full release.
I'm used to waiting.
