we published recently the pre-alpha SDK of Maemo 5. As the software matures, we will publish alpha and beta SDK. Preliminary estimate for beta SDK we communicated in Maemo Summit is from March to May 2009. To expect a product shipment before we have a beta SDK might be somehow unrealistic except if we would work like other players in the industry that make the SDK only open source once the lead device is shipping.

Read closely, look at dates mentioned for software releases, extrapolate what that means for the hardware it will run on.

Google and his HW partners sets Android with a high pace

Let's remember that Maemo 5 is a big step forward in the development of Maemo software. We skipped the "E" release by jumping from "D"iablo to "F"remantle. The pre-alpha SDK shows that we are working on many fronts to built a high-end mobile computer with Maemo 5. Without wanting to speculate, if we would have had an E release, then we might have seen a device shipping last XMas. We chose to accelerate the evolution of Maemo and skip one development step to get immediately to the next level. This work is not immediately visible, but the pre-alpha SDK shows that we are quite busy. Obviously, this approach takes some time but needs less time than it would have taken to move from D to E and then to F.

The keyword is - Time to markets
Reasons - Price erosion - Competitors (Google, Apple, Microsoft & Nvidia, RIM, Acer) occupy the front seats

Nokia stops production of only WiMax device
Thu Jan 8, 2009 8:53am GMT
HELSINKI (Reuters) - The world's top mobile phone maker Nokia said on Thursday it had ended production of its only mobile device using the U.S.-centered WiMax technology, another blow for the struggling wireless technology.
WiMax has been competing for the status of next generation mobile technology, but has largely lost the battle to Long-Term Evolution (LTE).
"We have ramped down the N810 WiMax Edition tablet. It has reached the end of its lifecycle," said a Nokia spokesman. Nokia unveiled the model only nine months ago, while usually even the most trendy models have a shelf life of well over a year.
Canada's Nortel Networks Corp has said LTE will be the most likely upgrade path for about 80 percent of the world's existing mobile phone providers, with others going for WiMax.
Nokia did not rule out introducing further WiMax phones in the future.
"We will continue to follow the technology and its evolution," the spokesman said.

I'm not convinced that they occupy anything on this front just yet. Though you can see them getting ready - for instance the new MID Android development branch.

LinuxWorld Summit - New York - 2005 - Presentation Nokia N770
And what has happened up to now - Developers - in search of perfection - everything at once - instead - to set priorities - and one after the other (see Google beta versions)
from sales and customer perspective - sorry, i can't understand this approach
in the competition only speed and innovation is the right answer
