[maemo-users] Repeat quetion : Diablo update to OS2008HE ? (Was: Software Choices for New Nokia 770?)

[From: Denis Dimick]

While I don't own a 700 or an 800, I have an n810, I'm watching what Nokia
does with these older models, are they going to require users upgrade the
hardware to get new apps, or are they going to support the older hardware?
If Nokia does not continue to support older hardware, I'm not sure Nokia
going to get any more of my money. $400 for a n810 is a lot to shell out
when you can buy a small laptop, Acer, Asus, etc. and have a system with
just a tad larger footprint.

Just my .02,

Denis
