the unforunate thing is, that the development doesn't stop for concurrent companies - and if Nokia spends another 4 months fixing existing stuff, and simultaneously developing n900+1 and maemo 6, that is

1) kinda' unfair treatment for future n900 buyers (even more so, if n900 support will only last until n900+1)...

2) unfortunate for maemo itself, as android/webos/apple/winmo will get many new users+devs, and nokia gets.. well.. not much... not everyone is that enthusiastic about using/developing software for virtual machines

3) by 2009/02, I'm sure many new devices will be out, and I'm quite sure n900 specs won't look so cool then, as they do today...
