No, unfortunately not. We are working to get apt-get upgrade working
for releases that come after Diablo.

For the Chinook to Diablo upgrade, yes.
Seems to me the upgrade will be working after Diablo as planned... The seamless upgrade was not intended to work for a transition between Chinook and Diablo.

It depends on how you interpret for releases that come after Diablo: it can either be that you can transition from Diablo to Diablo+1 with apt-get or that you'll be able to do it only from Diablo+1 to Diablo+2.
I guess we'll have to wait and see. Edit: since I don't like to wait, I asked on the mailing list :D

Where did you hear you won't get that with Diablo? I thought the whole "seamless software updates" were the big "new" thing being pushed into Diablo.

Fanoush also asked about the browser, so we'll see.

Well, I thought those words were written by a developer, not a politician, so I thought they just meant what they seemed to, in the context of that e-mail.

Perhaps I was wrong; guess , and/or believe the quotes here: http://www.internettablettalk.com/20...max-announced/

The possible answer is hidden in different reply
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp....mo.devel/15402

"From a technical perspective, the browser team did not have enough
time/resources to merge to trunk (nor was there a stable trunk of any
value until long after we were frozen) and get any work done for diablo.
We therefore had to choose not to merge to trunk and plan to do it for a future release. "

My understanding of this is "still same old browser code" in Diablo.

So here are the major features for Diablo

SSU
MicroB updates
Modest - If it's ever ready
Rfcomm - ? was this slated for Diablo

SSU will make it in, but won't that just encourage Nokia to release the "almost-but-not-quite-ready" stuff?

So, if we have SSU, MicroB is an easy decision - postpone it... ;)

EDIT: btw, MicroB will have at least... enhancements. One of which is... kinetic scroll... :(

Great, another half-baked idea that won't work correctly in the first 2 releases. Is Nokia trying to make every good feature of this device suck even more than it does now?

I am still holding out hope that the "Navigation software gets an upgrade." mention here:
http://www.internettablettalk.com/20...wimax-edition/
and here
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...2&postcount=18
is significant. i.e. updated maps and improved acquisition times for the n810
