/off-topic but related to N9

One thing baffles me.

I got N900 on 2009 Christmas and one of the first things what I loved was ability to get cursor hand in Microb if you swipe off-screen to on-screen from lower left side/corner. Also ability to get history view if you swipe from right off-screen to on-screen btw. I voted bugzilla entry that suggested Nokia to give us option to change it to simply back button functionality :|.

Of course I thought that there will be all kinds of apps that use this kind functionality of user interaction from off to on-screen. Stupid me So is this functionality hard-coded inside Microb or what is going on? Now people are talking about how N9 has new kind of usability approach and I´m just thinking that WTF, that should have been possible with N900 couple of years ago.

Also, I do believe that that is the INTENTION--for manufacturers to go off and spin off their own Android variations. Honeycomb was the weird exception to that philosophy (until Ice Cream combines it all together again).

We have to wait and see. I'm not too optimistic, there sure will be some strings attached to any "protection" offered by Google.

Nokia has $5-6 Billion cash to begin with...the value of its patents coupled with their dumbphone market + smartphone is huge.

Now is not the time to act selfish. They will release it when it's ready.

If M$ eats Nokia (like G did for M) they may cancel this jewel...

Nokia will not be sold, people don't realize the sheer size of Nokia. It is HUGE and it's patent portfolio is RIDICULOUS, and i do mean absolutely ridiculous. The smartphone division is just one entity, and it's the one that Nokia is getting most flak for. Nokia will be finnish forever.
I mean there's navteq, the s40 division, dumbphones, nokia-siemens, there's the trolltech qt that they acquired, and the list goes on and on.
