Nokia wouldn't still be producing the tablets if A. they weren't selling and B. they didn't have a plan to end up with something they think will sell big.

From what numbers? This is clearly not supported by the number of pure newbies we get bouncing through here and the number of users who still use Tablet School.

Unfortunately, since you stormed out of the community, a lot has changed and your information has gone out of date. I disagree with 90% of the assertions you've made about the tablets and the community, and I and others have offered plenty of facts that would seem to disprove or erode many of those assertions, but you seem set or ignoring or dismissing them. So, why don't we just agree that you've made up your mind about the platform and that it's time to close Tablet Scene and move on?

(Just, FYI, it's "Maemo" and "maemo.org", not "maemo" and "Maemo.org")
