e: I quess you didn't mean this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxiOKKF721U
btw this is probably the best ad (engadget wrote an article about it if I remember correctly) when talking about advertisement that reveals a real nature of a device.
Thanks for sharing. That is one entertaining commercial, and I don't say that very often, as a person who lives without a television.
I would be interested in the engadget article as well, but I could not find anything. Care to share the link to that as well?
Sorry man but how is this related to N900 failing in the consumer market? Maybe I jumped on the middle of the moving train but I see no reference whatsoever to N900/Nokia. N900 Pre-dated the whole caboodle of "Qt as platform" and "MeeGo is da future".
<ignored the personal attacks>
I think it's pretty obvious that to succeed in the current smartphone\tablet\pocketable computer market that you have to have a very active and thriving developer community and marketplace.
If you're not familiar with id software and John Carmack, please do look him up in Wikipedia et al.
I've found his remarks about iOS vs Android's development+market+distribution side to be very interesting and relevant to the issue at hand.
I was not trying in any manner to attack you, sorry if it sounded as if I did.
I was trying to funny since you are a guy with 3000+ posts here and sometimes you come pretty rough on Nokia but still hanging around in a Nokia centric place. Must be tough for the heart And you do have great comments, when not ranting. :P
And I am familiar with id software of course but since then I just think the world moved on from id software, for better/worse to an EA one, and they have not moved together. On the same instance Nokia is trying very hard, and failing in some instances, to create this "ecosystem" dont you think?
Again, I am just trying to squeeze some info out of you. Dont take it as if I am attacking you please.

Probably because iPhone community does not have that many listeners to rant with.
@guys: I find it amusing (and ironic) that I have to explain the relevance of content creation and distribution system to a smartphone's success in consumer market, just a mere few posts after someone proclaimed that "To Linux is to be Intelligent"
@HangLoose: You mean, I'm 'ranting' (trolling, lolling, etc) whenever I have something negative to say about Nokia.... and my remarks would be considered 'great' whenever they're 'neutral' or 'positive'?
And you do have great comments, when not ranting. :P
