At least there is a hint of a release date there, "some weeks still but not months" :P

Nokia is diverting many of their maemo developers to assist with finishing Duke Nukem Forever... PR1.2 development will resume when Duke Nukem Forever is released...

Will Duke Nukem Forever come embedded with Meego devices?

I know the reason why PR 1.2 is late. Nokia want to test their customers fidelity. If we pass the test they will reward us with a firmware who has all the symbian features plus all the best that maemo brings. Then the OVI store will fill with a lot of cool applications and games, even NGAGE.
That's why we have to be patient. The problem is that the guys didn't tell us how long the test will be.
Cheers!

what i just dont get is why nokia cant give us release dates..
is it that hard for them to plan ahead? incredible..
for example i take the Eclipse foundation and there release trains that are planned ahead i think about 10 to 12 months.
those release trains are big, they are a huge huge codebase. Not just the eclipse core system and jdt tooling. no many many sub projects all targeting a specific release date almost a year ahead with mile stone builds every 1.5 month or so.
did they ever in all these years form 1.0 to now 3.5 and busy finalizing 3.6 miss one target date? no they never did..... I find that pretty amazing for such a large codebase.
what i hope nokia is going to do is say we are releasing a new firmware every 2 months in the first week of that month.
then just plan make a cut (branch) a few weeks before the release, strart testing internally, fix some regressions, make 1 public beta or something 1 week before. then test some more and release.
in the mean time the trunk stream also progressed and the cycle starts over. (with a bit of planning what to get in (try to) in the next.

Just ask all those Android users waiting on a 2.x update how they feel about release dates LOL

It would resolve the misplaced anticipation.
It's also more feasible than releasing even a target month?
1:"Hey Bob, think we can release this month?"
2:"Probably not, we still have 6 testers that haven't reported in"
1:"Ok, I'm going to release that it won't be available this month."
Is that asking too much?
