cant say, as i dont read the comic in general. i just have that strip in the back of my mind when it comes to people that need to shout from the top of some mountain that they use products from some brand vs anything else.

or to say it another way, there are a lot of people out there that attempt to internalize the ads and stuff related to some product or brand. if some movie star is seen using product A, they themselves will choose said product, no matter what.

As I sit here finishing my Yuban Organic Free Trade coffee and type upon my IBM Thinkpad T43 beside an HP C6180 multifunction printer under the soft glow of a table lamp from Lowe's I can't imagine what tso is blathering about.

if you actually read any of the articles or press releases regarding the end of life of n810w then you would know it was because there are only two metro areas that have wimax rolled out and apparently there are/were issue on the wimax end. nothing at all to do with the tablet


read the forums... android is being ported for the tablet... if you don't like maemo and its app's go android there are many more years left for this hardware

A Beaglebord costs $150. A Pandora costs, I don't know, $300? More OMAP3-based devices are on the rise see Cortex entry here. SDK pre-release is free, and actively being developed.

Free N8x0 devices were handed out to KDE developers on aKedemy summit.

Hardware specs of new device are roughly known. Nokia is heavily developing on Fremantle & Maemo 5.

What more do you request?

At this moment that is the best hope that I can see. Not just for the Nokia Tablet but for the MID's too.

There are two things in hand to make this a reality. One is the amazing work being done to port Android to the N8*0 and the other will be the availability of 'paid-for' Android apps.

Once developers see that their efforts can be rewarded I am confident that great software will be forthcoming.

And Google behind it, actually marketing the damn thing.

Eh, nothing more. Clearly I was mistaken wondering about the whole wider mindshare thing and the future is certain to be bright. It's not really my business to be raising any questions anyway. Glad to hear everything's going according to the plan.
