Okay... I blink and there is 6 pages of responses. That has never happened to me before :B
So, interesting enough, most people seem to agree to a point that the N900 isn't going to win over Joe Average (This Joe A. is a U.N. citizen). And people are okay with that. I agree that as a step 4 of 5 device, maybe it's not intended to be.
However, I want Maemo to be a success. Enough of a success that Nokia will put resouces in it and not just have it as a backup plan to the next Symbian series. For now, enough of a success to make sure step 5 will be reached.
How much of a success does it need to be? Well, maybe not much. Maybe I just am too impatient. The 770, N800 and N810 were not big sellers, and still we got the N900. I just think a success means Maemo will get further, faster. If Maemo isn't a success in 2010, I think Android will get further, faster.
I want Maemo to become Nokias point of focus. And that will only happen if it gathers interest in broader masses.
But, we'll wait for step 5 of 5. Okay.
At some time in the future, though, say step 6 of 5, I'd like to see full featured Maemo devices in the 5800 price range.
