Indeed, I noticed that too :-)

However, I think it's clear he's not got a Maemo device; has never
tried hacking on one and doesn't follow the community. I don't think
we (incl. Nokia) can rest on our laurels yet - everyone who does do
those things wouldn't consider "Maemo" an open community project
(yet).

Cheers,

Andrew
