I think Koen is perfectly right that developers should get a chance to cross compile their apps with the new dev-env. Even if not being able to test them on the device directly it will still dramatically shorten the time from release of IT2006 until getting stable apps for the new environment. So I think it is really worth it. Besides it might also be nice for Nokia to get early feedback on the Maemo 2.0 and probably be able to fix minor things.
Yes, I agree whole heartedly. To have the base platform in place people can test their apps and give feedback that way you can get a much wider testing of the base platform before launch and possibly fix any brown paper bag issues that others may catch. It also allows the app developers to test their apps in the maemo v2 environment so they can get them running in the dev env and just have to do final testing in the live image when it ships to fix any minor issues allowing updated apps to hit the net shortly after the launch. There are certainly some apps that I use constantly that will stop me from directly upgrading to thee IT2006 before they become available.
