Look at it this way: Nokia will provide to hopefully gazillions of happy customers a linux based device which meets their needs and to thousands of geeks the opportunity to customise it to fit their needs as well. What's the catch? Try selling only few units and have fun seeing the price skyrocket. So mass marketing of fashionable (yes, very fancy and trendy) devices makes the price deflate for your average geek. Personally I think that we (as the part of Nokia that takes care of the design of the device in its base components) should just worry about not putting constraints in front of hackers when creating products. Then whoever doesn't feel satisfied with what we provide can have a go with his own implementation. > > > Yes, we gave up the shrink division and hired more developers :-D > > No, unfortunately that's only my wild dream. > > Good thing the programmers are *not* running the asylum. ;-P No, somebody has to provide a reason to keep it open. -- Cheers, Igor Igor Stoppa <igor.stoppa at nokia.com> (Nokia M - OSSO /Helsinki Finland)
