Can we be clear on one thing in your argument, which is that Nokia has only delayed this phone once. I refuse to acknowledge release dates from any other place than the originator of the device. Other than that I think that Maemo will find its place amongst the beauts when it comes to application development, etc. Android does have a strong consumer and development base right now (especially being that it is run by google) but I feel that with the ease of porting applications with direct access to the linux system and not only being restricted to java, the N900 will find it's way.
