[maemo-developers] Product roadmap

I am distressed that Nokia has not provided a product roadmap to developers. 
I learned at CES that Nokia plans to discontinue the N800 soon in favor of
the N810.  The application that I am developing will, of course, run on the
N810, but the N810 is now about twice the price of the N800 (on the street)
and is inherently more expensive because of the GPS and the keyboard.  An
application that does not require those features incurs a significant cost
burden when run on the N810.  Why would Nokia abandon an attractive price
point when there clearly are applications that do not require the
additional features of the N810?  It would be helpful for Nokia to provide
a product roadmap so that developers can assess whether a suitable platform
will still be shipping at the time their development is completed.
