Let's remember that Maemo 5 is a big step forward in the development of Maemo software. We skipped the "E" release by jumping from "D"iablo to "F"remantle. The pre-alpha SDK shows that we are working on many fronts to built a high-end mobile computer with Maemo 5. Without wanting to speculate, if we would have had an E release, then we might have seen a device shipping last XMas. We chose to accelerate the evolution of Maemo and skip one development step to get immediately to the next level. This work is not immediately visible, but the pre-alpha SDK shows that we are quite busy. Obviously, this approach takes some time but needs less time than it would have taken to move from D to E and then to F.
