Re: Future development
Hi Ok. I just thought including a SIM slot, means more restrictions, otherwise if there was no disadvantage to the openness of the device, there would be a SIM slot already? Hopefully I've misunderstood. It would be ironic for Nokia to be successful with tablets using unlocked devices running Linux, Maemo etc, then go and lock the platform down and take away everything that made it.

Re: Future development
Richard, I'm sorry, but I don't comment Nokia development in any way. I do advice you to rely only the official information about nokia devices. There is a lot of rumors going around. About open development platforms. We continue the platform work with ARM and it will be available to everybody. Not only on Nokia devices on TI hardware. Also we provide the open source replacements to the components that Nokia has kept propriatary.
