Getting beyond the easily misinterpreted intentions of mailing list
participants, he does have a very good idea. If Nokia just sends 500
worthy developers mail-in rebates for store-bought n800's then there
is no issue of waiting anymore. It is probably the easiest thing to
handle logistically on Nokia's side also.
That is so sensible it will never happen ;-) I would be delighted to
be proved wrong though, and also I'd like to ask a very open question:
How many people on this list are being held back in development by
lack of access to hardware? Or any other resource? What's the thing
that would most accelerate your development activity? Steve Ballmer
might be a bit of a plonker at times, but 'Developers! Developers!
Developers!' as a war cry has done Microsoft nothing but good. What
do we, as developers, really want?
I know my initial list would be:
1 more open source code
2 or, if I can't have that, dev access to non-redistributable code on
easy terms (like, less than retail device cost)
3 did I mention the code?
4 discounted hardware
