I'm very surprised to read here that a lot of members are not so much interested in Maemo for itself and that, for them, it's just a different flavor of Linux.

I just find it very unfair for the people who are developping and maintaining Maemo.

I tried many Linuxes on laptop, notebooks and even on Sharp Zaurus ... and let me tell you that MAEMO IS AMAZING.
Why ?
Because it is really designed for handheld use, and this makes a huge difference in term of :
- power management (crappy on Zaurus, amazing on N8xx)
- ergonomy
- reliability
- snappyness (overall reactivity)

Of course i didn't try Android yet ... but when I read some comments here I have the feeling that sometime we behave like spoiled children.
Thanks for pointing that out. I (mistakenly) take Maemo for granted. Having never used Linux before, I've just figured this is what modern-day Linux is like.
