interesting though the fact that they skipped maemo as a reference is telling that the non-board member may not know known enough about what they already had in hand.

Possobly. Or that non in the Maemo-team had the skill and numbers to break within Nokia.

I have to read it but to me the downfall had nothing to do with the hardware or Software.

I doubt it. I think it was primarily internal politics, and secondarily not prioritizing software sufficiently. Wildly guessing, with no real information at all, I'd guess a 70% / 30% mix.

To me it’s mainly due to vision. You need to be able to change and nokia didn’t want to change. From top management to dev teams.

For once, juiceme and Dave999 are saying the same thing.

Not really. An OS can never be blaimed. If Nokia had android at that time they would still most likely fail.
