We're probably not seeing a phone manufactured by a big-name officially running a GNU/Linux distro ever again, because right now, everybody's buying Android.

A lot of normal folks find Android fantastic compared to iOS - just a few examples: desktop widgets, extendable notification bar and best of all, adding media is just like adding to a USB drive, no iTunes needed, sideloading apps is incredibly idiot-proof (4shared being the #1 example)

It's either Maemo.org makes a Maemophone N900.1 pocket rocket 5" octo-core phone (I don't think we can name it that, though) or we wait for somebody to make a device hackable enough and hack it to fit our needs (Sharp IS01? Toshiba AC100? Meizu MX? Xiaomi MI-One?)

Either way, it's going to be a long time before we can have something usable as a daily usage device.
