What do you try to hint at? Do you mean they should just go with some form of Unix, a proven way to attract hackers?

Actually http://maemo.org/ does not look too bad. (And maemo may actually be close to Linux or so. I haven't checked in depth, yet.)



No, what I'm saying is that they should commit themselves to one OS for high end devices. As a developer, how do I know whether Maemo or Symbian has a future? Neither has a significant installed base outside of Nokia. Right now Nokia doesn't exist for me as a developer. I don't believe a word they say. They are confused and I believe they could announce Android support tomorrow.


I think the point is that Nokia is splitting developer attention between two incompatible platforms, rather than choosing one and getting it on as many devices as possible.


Maemo is a Debian based linux.
