The devs, at least part of them, have been attracted towards FMC also through the deployment of the N950 DDP.
I think that [high or low power]-users and power-lusers like me, simple enthusiasts or evangelists, generic vanilla-type geeks have been kept back or counted as unproductive at all. All in all, the N9 is a much more mainstream device than the NITs or the N900, and given there are devs enough to make an app store flourish, it will sell by itself, without the need for a bunch of unproductive geeks chanting its merits.


So, bye bye TMO you did the best you could do, but times they are a-changing
Yes i agree but you know i seen this coming long time back when i argued what the hell is a dev to do with a closed device just WHERE is the sense in giving a device to a community that was not 100% open is beyond my thinking and the very reason it was doomed before it got started.

Nokia had complete control over the software development for the N900 and it knew it ! so what expectations could they realistically have from developers?.

I have seen some blunders in my time but i can not even hazard a guess as to why this blatant pisstaking took place from Nokia .

Yes i agree the N9 and as many have said on here, it should have been released long time ago but obviously the reason it was not released was because of the software side and the reason MeeGo was pushed, as hard as it could be, on this community to draw in the dev's, as successful as it was is the reason we have the N9 as advanced as it is with a MeeGo os.

Look to the top right corner of this screen and you will see what i mean so many people are not only confused but when it all comes out in the wash they will feel somewhat used and abused by Nokia.

For Maemo to be scrapped in favour of MeeGo after punishing them with closed components to work around, making the task a thousand times worse than it should have been to write software for further development of the os of the N900, is no wonder it has crashed flat on its face !.

You can not write anything to a closed component !.

Now i see why the dev's started to leave long time ago and some of the best have been here too i might add ! but if you look at my history you will see why i complained and argued with many people on here and why i started the poll to attempt to get feedback from everyone regarding the release of the much needed code from Nokia for the N900, THAT thread was closed by a well though out moderator's decision .

So yes i agree with you and say for sure we have all been hoodwinked by Nokia .

Hence why they have gone down the pan, they are paying for there mistakes and have this community to prove just how loyal there fans and dev's were and could have stayed if not for bad decision making on Nokia's part.

The BIG question is.... WHAT NOW for Maemo.org? and as Maemo is dead.................. or has Maemo.org also used everyone?.
