It is impressive how Apple, Google and Microsoft can change people minds so that dumbed down (mobile OS) are accepted without real multitasking, open Bluetooth, screenshot capability, USB, microSD, offline maps, etc.
Offline maps has been on Android for almost a year. If the "smarter" OS's are so great, why are they falling to the wayside and not being developed by the majority?

Solve that and you'll be able to do what the folks at Nokia cannot do - solve why Maemo didn't catch on like wildfire.

I own a Asus Transformer TF-101, IMHO Android 3.x/4.x is indeed a dumbed down OS. Wasting good hardware.
I own a Xoom. ICS, dual core Tegra... yet when I need to do what I need to do on a tablet, it does it well. It's doubtful that I'll ever create a PowerPoint presentation or full blown AS3 project on it.

But I can. Not bad for a "dumbed down" OS.

I can't do that on that aforementioned "smart" OS at this moment though.
