The product launches, and the products themselves, only serve to highlight the gulf in quality that exists between Nokia and Apple. I'm not sure how much longer I can stand to remain a Beta tester for Maemo (it's been 5 years now) when Apple are able to churn out great - although sadly restricted - products with apparent ease.

And they haven't gotten on to the next iPhone update yet...
The think the operative word is restrictive. If Nokia took away multitasking, Flash, micro SD, keyboard, forward facing camera, flash (camera), replaceable battery, limited screen resolution, etc... Imagine how much more time they could have spent on software. The UI would be slicker just because it doesn't have to do as much and it would be quicker.
