Secondly, since you've...

Re: Cleaning N900 FUD
It could, which is why I'm suggesting having someone like the council filter it down to a basic list of things we really need to know, rather than declaring open season.
It's a compromise, and...

Re: Cleaning N900 FUD
I think what I would like to see come out of this discussion is for some representative(s) of the community (e.g. the Council) to compile a list of hot-topic questions, and for someone from Nokia...

Re: Cleaning N900 FUD
MeeGo is supposed to run on phones, netbooks, cars and TVs, amongst other things. I think a high level of hardware abstraction is pretty much a given.

Re: Cleaning N900 FUD
To be honest, as far as the 'FUD' question goes, it doesn't matter whether Harmattan is going to be available on the N900. What matters is that we know what the plans are either way. Until we do,...

Harmattan. Not yet, obviously, but when it's out I see no reason that it shouldn't be supported on the N900 in the same way that the latest iPhone OS releases are available on all the existing iPhone...

Re: Cleaning N900 FUD
Well, since you ask, how about just one, Apple's announcement of the iPhone OS 3.0 update:

A few select quotes:

Re: Cleaning N900 FUD
The iPhone is something of a special case though, and everyone else's failure to beat Apple at that game proves it. If Nokia and others are going to compete against Apple in the...

I think you're wrong. Take the example of Intel's approach to graphics card drivers, for example. As a rule, by the time a new chipset hits retail they have free drivers already published, already...

Re: Cleaning N900 FUD
This discussion appears to have led to a fair degree of consensus that what is required is more openness from Nokia. If you want to solve the 'FUD' problem, that's your solution.
