couple thoughts...

i second (third?) kojacker's opinion about being more specific on the "multi platform"
shouldn't we bluntly restrict this to NOKIA platforms?
i'm pretty sure an Android (or iPotato) dev whose application somehow got to run on Maemo (Qt? more likely Python...) probably wouldn't care about the N9(50) (except maybe as a curiosity & sell it on eBay, definitely the N950)
this would on the other hand mean we could include Symbian / NOKIA Belle (via Qt)

after all, the main prices (N9(50)) are NOKIA devices and if i understood it properly, are sourced from NOKIA (?)
correct me if i'm wrong

N900, dead platform?
as i posted already a few times, i'm able to get a N900 from various shops, all with 2 yr NOKIA warranty (with or without contract).
whether it can be augured as a sign NOKIA is going to release a business worthy successor to the N900 & publicly available successor to the N950 is open to debate (to be held elsewhere, i'm sure) but still, N900 does not seem dead yet, not quiet, at least.
as i once posted before... Totgesagte leben länger
when looking on eBay (or elsewhere) at the number of bluetooth slide keybords for iPotatos (mostly), one can't help feeling this is still high on many ppls wish list, possibly even requirements

even more off topic, sort'a...
last few hrs my inbox is over flooded with e-mails from the Maemo mailing list applying for a N9 (or N950).
those are for the Community award, i guess, but still... does it make sense to award a N9 to ppl who already have a N950?
i could marginally agree with the idea of a N9 owner getting a N950 for its obviously featuring a hw keyboard, but the other way around?
explain me the logic, pls?
doesn't quite apply to the coding competition i guess...


eeeeee, what about the TMO logo?
if not replace the election Logo with a CC & All one, could we at least remove it?
