Wasn't the last of the maemo devices supposed to be the consumer device anyway? Granted Maemo6 did go for a ride in the meego train only to find that he had to switch terminals half way down the track, but that was the idea I have been lead to believe.

Here's a quote from Anssi Vanjoki on the Nokia N810

This is Step 3 of 5
Interestingly enough, Nokia mentioned that the N810 was the third of a “five-steps” strategy aiming at bringing such connected devices from “super-geeky” to “consumer-friendly”.

At the time I guess it was not to be taken too literally, but it actually turned out that way.

I still want one.
