Then see how far you get versus the Maemo/Meego platforms on Android. That Dalvik baggage kind of gets in the way when doing things that are a given on Nokia's Linux platform.
Maemo and Meego are what Android really should have been - a phone with a very accessible and usable Linux stack.
From a relatively free Maemo platform to a walled garden is not an improvement. That, and unlike the iDevices, you can do all the things that Apple decrees that you cannot do and have all the things that Apple decrees that you shall not have.
Some of the things you're missing:
Non-carrier dependent tethering Out-of-the-box root access A mature, true-to-form Linux stack OS upgrades that dont obliterate your personal data Integrated QWERTY keyboard Removable / expandable internal batteries A standard USB connector Non-proprietary screws
While you're waiting for the next upgrade to be jailbroken, many others are doing things with the phone that would be breakthroughs for the iDevice. With the current release of software.
I'd rather take the Maemo / Meego stacks over the more locked-down Android. But Elop wants to kill a perfectly good phone with a more-open-than-Android stack.
Then replace it with an SD card mangling, homebrew-co-opting WP7 platform.
I'd hope that they don't screw it up further by throwing out the QWERTY slider form factor. Failing that, I would only hope that a keyboard can be hacked on to address such a deficiency.
An onscreen keyboard not only takes up screen space, it also is worse off versus an actual keyboard. That, and the hinge is fine enough on the N900 to transfer to the N950.
Unlike Ireland, India looks the other way when people misrepesent themselves for work. Never mind that you gloss over the whole issue of firms that defraud people(and the people that defend them).
Not if it that means they are declared traitors, along with complete seizure of assets. The EU and the US have plenty of weapons to put China back in its place, behind the world.

Then Nokia can save a ton of development costs and just port Meego to the E7, then slap the N950 label on it.
Make it the same color as the N9-00 or N900, and you have a damn good phone.

How's the hijacking of Nokia, a good manufacturer of phones before you were there, going?

The more ethical thing would be to find any wrongdoing to report. Then blow the whistle on it.
The deck would just be stacked one more time.
There's nowhere to hide.

I think the gentleman made a bad decision. Either we adapt or fail.
Then adapt the legal framework to remove the incentive to defraud people with offshoring.
Asking an economist to side on a politically charged issue, is asking the wrong person. All you would get is their political beliefs.

I'm not sure people would notice, even if it was worse.
Sounds like they're treating it sort of like how PC's are treated with respect to games.
So much for their hypervisor and kill-off of OtherOS.
Then someone will go into some detail about how you have to agree to have those screws there for them to do any service.
Nice way for them to try to spin it.
If Google is going all out to kill H.264, have they made sure previous versions of Chrome aren't available that have said support?
Whatever, modbombers.
If only bnetd got this civility, perhaps there might be some redeeming quality to that company.

If the device gives you enough control, then tethering restrictions dont matter.
How could TMobile detect tethering if the device makes it look like a seamless, untethered connection?
Not only will there be a case for the next iPad, there will be cases for the inevitable knockoffs too.
I know that too well. I just keep a USB cable with its D+/D- lines hooked together + gender changer + USB battery handy.
If you want something in the case, there are always the Mugen batteries.
Hardware keyboard, ships with xterm, has easily accessible number keys, and no jailbreaking needed.
Grace Mugabe, wife of Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe, was recently reported to be suing a newspaper for $15 million
Which by the time it gets over with, will be worth a few cents if in the Zimbabwe currency.
