Yup, Good article, I am however not sure if Mr. Jaakski truly reflected the results of the Maemo Wiki brainstorm, but he surely understands the N8X0 customer and end-user:
I also hope that Maemo.org will develop more add-ons for the standard OS and stop competing with it: adapting additional in stead of complementary (Linux) tools for the Tablets seems to be a great 'mission' for Maemo. Usability, Quality and Simplicity should become Maemo Marks.
Developing 'Media Players' like Canola, MediaBox, MPlayer, Kagu, Media Streamer, Quiver, Streamtuner, Ukmp, Youamp and whatever is maybe interesting for senior ITT members, but the customer simply gets confused ! As too many of these complementary gadgets do not simply work after the first Maemo download and alongside documentation lacks, it takes too many dark winter evenings too find out why I should bother to use them.

Media players aren't interesting to end users? News to me, I figured out of all people end-users would be most interested in media players. :\

Do you mean 3rd party developers or Nokia? If 3rd party, I'm not sure how they're "competing" with ITOS. Besides, 3rd party developers should be doing whatever the hell their want to with their own damn time regardless of what you or anybody else thinks.

How are the options available here any different than the options available on a regular computer? There are dozens upon dozens of media players for Windows and most people seem to be able to figure things out just fine.

We want to educate open-source developers," said Jaaksi, who is Nokia's vice president of software and heads up the Finnish handset manufacturer's open-source operations. "There are certain business rules [developers] need to obey, such as DRM, IPR [intellectual property rights], SIM locks and subsidised business models.

Dr Jaaksi appears to have said:
"That Open Source stuff is very nice except for being Open Source. Get rid of those pesky Open Source licences and Nokia will be much happier"
Or:
"We'll take all your stuff for ourselves, now p*ss off and stop bothering us"
