Finally let us hope something good will come out of it. n8x0 has some potential as media player and Canola project is a great and badly needed undertaking. And hopefully a decent vector based GPS mapping app will emerge one day. And it looks Maemo people will be doing some major cleaning of their own soon.

I'm not hopeful though for a major rewrite of the OS to provide more consistent/friendlier user interface (touch vs stylus based), call me a pessimist but that appears way outside Nokia competency and not something that a community of enthusiasts is properly suited for. So this will never be as polished as Apple products as disappointing as that is.

So to be realistic, I see n8x0 remaining a generally sloppily supported half-baked product for the rest of its natural life, another tech gizmo to play around with, a perfect little geek toy.
You haven't provided a shred of quantitative evidence to support any of your claims.
