I thought I would post a snippet from the Endgadget review that represents the
view of the users of Nokia's products. This is something that Nokia bears in
mind, even if we at maemo.org don't always, we tend to be self-selecting geeks.
"After having dug in, we're seeing glimmers of brilliance here that give us
hope. Maemo 5 isn't the polished, consumer-friendly, all-encompassing solution
that Palm, Google, and Apple are all selling today, but it's fairly evident
that Nokia has built itself a stable, extensible platform that can reach those
levels with a little tender loving care. The company's commitment to open
source and the Maemo development community is commendable -- it's something
that should absolutely continue -- but going forward, we'd love to see what
kinds of magical things could happen if it took development to 100 percent
feature completion internally with a full round of usability testing before
handing it off to the eager geeks in the field. The mere thought sends shivers
down our spine."
The important point here is that users want _less_ developer control and _more_
Nokia control.
Any smart company listens to their users and Nokia is no exception.

Jeremiah
