What saddens me about this is that we have seen it all before in the Sharp Zaurus field and no-one (not vendors, developers, supporters, nor users) seems to have learned from history. Nokia have behaved infinitely more responsibly than Sharp ever did, but the arguments over FOSS or non-FOSS, broken repos, and selection of software are almost identical. These things upset people, very clearly, but we live in an imperfect world, and the best thing to do is try and maintain a dialogue at all times. No-one is trying to breach Nokia's business-plan security, just as no-one is trying to force FOSS champions to forsake their principles, but dialogue means providing information -- both ways. I'm just a user. I can't fix bugs or contribute upgrades. My N800 has given (and continues to give) excellent service, and maybe one day I'll be able to afford an N810 or whatever replaces it, but in the meantime, it would be nice if we could avoid repeating history. ///Peter _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
