I never said that. I am saying that it might be the case that the NITs as they are now can perhaps be profitable enough to justify the product existence and keep my egocentric derrière happy. I am not a robin hood altruist myself, I'm a hedonistic bastard. I don't really care if Nokia is making money, I want to know if they will build more devices like the N800 in the future, and cheaper, so I can buy them while my friends keep buying that expansive and feeble iMtireds.

Unless you tell me the NITs can go extinct unless more people start buying it, I won't care about attracting Joe the Plumber and Aunt Tillie to use it.

Will the price drop if more people start using it? Will it drop if iPhone users move to it? or will it get as much expansive as an iPhone?

Now, maybe the Nokia people need a new yatch or something. And they decide they will try to use Maemo to get more users... Why not letting them decide alone what would be the strategic move? Can we users and third party developers really help them? Should we really care? Are we sure, for example, that prices might drop if we help them really hard?
