They killed any Linux device development at Nokia in 2011. Still salty about Elop shooting down a project we had spent 5 years working towards.

The holistic platform security for a combined phone/tablet base system would have been really interesting.

I'm not sure if I would have started using Linux but for buying an n800, so thanks for that.

We never did get around to our funeral for Nokia, sadly.

		Hah, if you ever used the N800 media player you will have been exposed to a tiny bit of my code. Some of the UI polishes and usability tweaks were mine. (Well, someone else had figured out they needed to be done and the bug landed on my lap...) "/* Here be dragons */" in a particularly hideous d-pointer punching chain must have been a surprise for whomever eventually picked it up.

		I'll make sure I toast Nokia at Elop's funeral.
