I'm afraid Nokia is doing a rather poor job of mentioning the N7/8** and anything to do with it at all. I've never seen any model advertised or even given an editorial mention (except a fleeting announcement in /.), so they certainly don't mention the existence of the Maemo apps. When I was looking for a replacement for my Zaurus, the only reason I even became aware of the N800 was because of a reply to a query I posted on Usenet. It's not clear why they never advertise it or even mention it. I get the feeling they don't know its marketplace, and that it's still a bit too experimental for the mainstream PDA market. It's a great pity, because it has good potential. Or perhaps I have misinterpreted them: maybe it was only ever intended as an experiment...in which case, will there ever be a production model? ///Peter _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
