As for hackers, Apple is working hard to counter them with antagonistic firmware updates. Hmmm... is it the same with the tablets...?
I think the main difference is that Apple does this on purpose...

The point is well understood, Karel and Rebski, but IMO intent is very important here. Ineptitude is really not hard to fix in this case and in fact progress has been made in many areas. That will continue to be the case.
On the other hand, deliberate intent to lock out many third party developers is not so easily overcome. It is a philosophy on Apple's part that is deeply ingrained. I don't see that changing any time soon, and my point about hacker success still stands.

We all accept the obvious distinctions in intent. However the hackers are more effective in circumventing Apple’s restrictions than Nokia is in dealing with N800 issues. So I would have more confidence in Apple hackers maintaining and enhancing the functionality of my device then I have in Nokia.

Fact is that reading anything on an N800 in portrait mode is asking for eye problems. Unless of course you LIKE scrolling from side to side.
