I agree most of what Sean Luke covered. It looks as though we'll just have to be patient and wait on Nokia's small maemo team to make the best of what they patched together.

That is, of course, one option.

Another is to vote with your wallet and say byebye to Nokia...

And there always is the good ole' third alternative: Stick your fingers in your ears and go: "Lalalalala!"

I agreed with many of Sean Luke's earlier review, and whilst OS2008 has added some useful features, I agree with his follow-up article, and also add that in general computer UIs have stagnated - a notable example is PalmOS.

Now, clunkiness aside, OS2008 update has not actually solved the underlying problem of *needing* a stylus to drive the thing most of the time.

It is sad that the Newton's paradigm shift was lost. I watched Hyperland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperland) recently and realised it's nearly 20 years on and many of the ideas *could* be fulfilled but haven't.
