I don't know if he's exaggerating or not, but I certainly hope not.
Even so, it's unlikely we'll get Maemo-based smartphones geared for the high-end.
If we're lucky there might eventually be one that creeps into smartphone hw territory.
Maemo is a thin layer over linux, how big the project is depends on what "big" is. It is not at all like doing a operating system from scratch like Microsoft needed to do with windows phone and has failed with. Microsoft is switching the kernel to same kernel as windows 8, this is done in apollo I think. Then it could compete with Maemo.
