F1 is weird thing in a sense that while i have been watching it from 80's i would think i have okish picture of the history and what's happening, there's usually 100 rumours around one thing and one of them is true. So who knows what will happen here.

Example in Kimi's case, Kimi said just yesterday that his off from F1 for one year to do nothing or drive in WRC and Le Mans. BUT just today his manager said that he is in talks with Mercedes. Norbert Haug(Benz boss) commented yesterday that Kimi can call him anyday and they can talk.

I really wouldn't mind to see Schumi or Kimi in Benz. I would actually want to see one or another.
I would have loved to see Kimi Raikkonen here, but it seems he has put his mind to WRC and Le Mans for next year.
Oh and it sure seems to be easier to go WRC from F1 than other way around ;) Kimi is talks with Citroen or buying a team. I guess that's what you get with +45 million euros year earnings and next season still getting his paycheck from Ferrari while doing what ever he wants.
I'm not sure if the author got the message right. They are abonding S60 of course, but it's not the same thing as Symbian Foundation OS. S60 is Nokias own version of Symbian. It has been speculated that Nokia would keep S60 alive, but seems not. It has already been hinted many times from Nokia that Symbian Foundation OS will be new mid end platform and Maemo the new high end.

I can assure you that Symbian will keep going, but in a form of Symbian^2, Symbian^3 and Symbian^4. While we can all agree that Symbian is far from it's glory days it still did put Nokias smartphone market share back to 40% and rised average smartphone price by 4% last quarter.

I know how Symbian might look with it's market share in USA, BUT they will not kill a platform that will still have at least 15% market share in 2010 and is just getting to the very important strategic point where Maemo 6 and Symbian^4 will share their app base because they both are fully Qt based.
Oh and one more thing about the portrait mode is good to remember is that every developer can make their application to work in a portrait mode if they want. Good example being Mozilla teams own browser that currently on beta.

It seems that portrait mode is enabled now and part of the future fw or even the release fw!!

As a finn some of those comments are funny.
Who the he** he thinks he is - commenting after car spinning up to the air and hitting to a tree.
"Still others feel it's the sheer boredom of living in Finland" I appreciate that ;)
Good read. Can't wait for Sunday.
Funny thing is that cell phones made 660 million euros profit last quarter and they improved smartphones average price by 6% compared to last Q.
Not saying it matters that Nokia Siemens Network made all the - last quarter, but their mobile phone business is still doing good(not saying they are even close to the 2008 and 2009 huge profits thought) and N900 with the huge preorders it's not going to hurt Nokias smartphone sales, that btw got up to 40% again in last Q.
Be a gadget site not a business site please. Better read too if it's about gadgets ;) Thought i guess this isn't bad way to get posters.
Caaan't Wait!!
I'm a long time Autoblog reader 3-4 years and actually started lisening the podcast about a week ago and got a say you guys are doing great job. I have gone from 98 episode to 151.
Keep up the good work!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
