[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Re: N800 Developer Programme Application

[From: Igor Tkach]

What's the point to announce such a program so late and with so little
details? To irritate people? I would like to have my discount right
now, if I'm eligible, so that I could buy the device right away, or to
know that I'm not eligible so that I could plan $399 into my budget
for gadgets. At the very least it would be nice to know the time frame
for the program.
