Ah, so much energy invested in threads like this one...

Nokia hibernating? Silence? We are around maemo.org and related upstream projects every day. We actually comment a lot, also about future plans, compared to the usual practices in this industry.

If you want to know more about the future of the Maemo platform and even help forge it, go to http://bugs.maemo.org or http://www.octofish.net/bugjar/ and vote, comment on the features that interest you more. Or create new requests if what matters to you is missing.

There is quite a lot known about Fremantle thanks to the push done by people like you investing their time in fruitful work there and also looking at the pre-alpha release done in December. And there are even some sparks about Harmattan.

About the 5 steps/generations, a tip: don't get too obsessed. In his posicion as vice-president of Markets, Anssi Vanjoki talks mainly about hardware (discrete objects) while Maemo SW people like Peter, ragnar or myself talk mainly about software (continuous development). This is why you see the software people less concerned about such steps. Think also that you, me, Anssi or Peter might have very different barometers for what "mass consumer products" means.

And don't get obsessed because you are going to be impressed by Fremantle and are going to be impressed by Harmattan as well.

About the devices to come with Maemo inside... trust Nokia. B) If you liked the progress 770 --> N800 --> N810 you are probably going to love what comes next.
