Re: Maemo Missteps, your thoughts?
Bottom line: Nokia needs to find an identity. Decide what flavor of organization it wants to be. Mostly open? Mostly closed?
Because right now I see a lot of mixed signals confusing the hell...

Re: Maemo Missteps, your thoughts?
I don't think you will have a problem with people enjoying their Maemo 5 devices; people are having a problem with the fact that 6 months after the release of a Maemo 5 phone, MeeGo was announced. ...

Re: iPhone 4
They won't invest in a small market run by a company that can't get its act together. This has nothing to do with anything being "free."
