I am late for the OSiM, my volunteer and demo and exhibits are all Summit ONLY. I attempted to edit the page.....please take a look.

For a brief moment I toyed with the idea of bringing my Newtons, just to show what real HWR is and how it makes the best use of the limited screen real estate of a handheld tablet.

But it's all just pointless; Nokia has made it clear that they don't want a stylus-driven handheld, but rather a finger-prodded iClone; they don't want a device for entering content, they want a consumer-targeted, no-brain PMP (probably because those customers tend to be less intelligent and therefore less bothersome).

So why should I fight windmills?

Well, I NEVER make people do things, I just wish you would be there, and I can show you how 'handsomely' I have trained myself in writing on the Nokia, and MOST OF ALL, I can provide a hot ear for your Nokia bashing that nobody can.

Finally, the one that fights with windmills did go down in history, right? Dont you want to leave a footprint in maemo history, KJ?

Oh, I have never touch a Newton. I heard about it, and read about it and that is it. I used a TI99 and TRS-80.

Looking at the current Saturday schedule I'm almost glad that I can't be there.. I would be totally frustrated by the fact that so many interesting sessions are scheduled at the same time! The choices.. I would have wanted to attend most of them.

Let's hope there are enough people with video cameras that we can catch up on the missed content in time to ask questions outside the specific talks, etc.

Hey, if I could go to the Summit I also would have liked to have Karel there.. I'm sure more than a few people would like to get some kick-ar*e devil's advocate arguments served up front, no prisoners taken.

I have decided to clone myself. I hear there's a renegade clinic in Berlin that does cloning while-you-wait.
