thanks
fyi IRC in the evenings is done at the kitchen: good wlan connection and big Andalousian table (the Andalousian detail is added to spice up your imagination). Evening calls are made from the sauna (engine turned off) not to awake children.
In Finland I've discovered how good saunas with wooden walls and ceiling are to handle sound. I wouldn't be surprised if someone has used a sauna to record music (specially soloists, since saunas tend to be rather small).
Thanks for the IRC chat - I found it via twitter. Thanks too for the reassurance all round. I think people are getting over the shock now.

Ok, allow me to ask this.
If you have a product that's out now, there's a questionable upgrade path, a recent announcement makes that upgrade path already more questionable... why not answer the simple question of "Should I buy now, or should I buy later?" in clear, simple terms?
Either answer now, deal with a little bit of wrath - but sell a lot less units - or deal with it later... and deal with the wrath of a lot more people. The people that don't know about Maemo 6, MeeGo, Harmattan... hell, how to even get to the terminal and install via dpkg.
I just don't get what's the problem with answering that one question? Will it be upgraded or not? Coyly walking around that question just creates more doubt about the current product and future product.
I just don't get it. And no... I don't want to hear "we're working on the details..." or "you'll have to be patient..." or even "we can't say right now..." because all of those to a consumer ear means "Nope. If you've bought it, you're screwed. If you buy it, you're screwed. And if you're waiting for information... you're screwed."
