Now that sounds as if you haven't watched very closely what happened the last year or so. Claiming that Nokia did not provide hardware and (more importantly) code is - in the best case - just uninformed.
Yes, I missed the post to the mailing list and wiki that described the steps to build a complete IT2006 environment from source (including sources for DSME and the dsp gstreamer stuff) and pointers to comprehensive documentation for Retu and Tahvo. Where is that?
The situation with the changed hardware that implies incompatible software is unfortunate, but it is understandable how this situation could arise. I guess Nokia could handle the situation better than it does now, but flames on this list won't change anything.
Look; I don't mean for this to be a flame. I hope Nokia take it as constructive criticism from a frustrated user/developer who a year later is still waiting to see a level of openess on the device which I think every honest person has to admit was certainly _implied_ in their advertising of a "Linux-based" device. I have nothing against any Nokia employees, particularly here on this list. They've demonstrated themselves, to a person, to be hardworking, helpful and polite people, most of whom seem to care about Open Source, or Free Software quite a bit. But the company has, I think, really screwed up on this one.
