It is nokia policy not to give out details about future products to general public. Though such information (or some of it) is available to nokia partners who have all the confidentiality agreements in place. As for "one shot offering" , all i can say is nokia is definitely here in this space for a long haul. If it was a "one shot" thingie, why would we have taken all the trouble with creating a open development environment, working so closely/listening/contributing with community, established maemo :) > I noticed in the Maemo software roadmap on the www page whose url is > > http://maemo.org/platform/docs/roadmap.html > > a reference to x86 device emulation/virtualization but I wonder > whether the performance of the current hardware would be anywhere near > sufficient to allow anything useful to be accomplished in a vm > environment. The reference in the roadmap about virtualization is purely as a development platform, so that the developers can transform their PC into a n770 device (together with attached peripherals like usb WLAN, or USB BT dongles) in a VM and cut down development and debugging time (hopefully).
