Ok, let me throw in a completely unfounded, made-up conspiracy theory.

Nokia promised that the N800 would run Diablo which was originally planned for much later on this year. The tablets are selling better than Nokia expected and the market segment is developing really fast now that the iPhone/Touch and eee-like devices are coming thick and fast.

Then Intel really starts to move on its low power SoC devices and it looks like Nokia are going to have to switch processors soon and that is going to seriously fork the code.

What to do about that Diablo promise? Re-label the next minor release Diablo and move on ...
