Maemo is basically a home-run hitter. Now, what if the opposition is up so far that a home run can't save the game? Then a home-run hitter is useless, begins to get jaded and starts feeling his age. If somehow some other technology gets so far on top that Maemo isn't in the same league, enthusiasm will melt and Maemo will become a gathering of has-beens that used to be contenders, and key young people on the move will start disappearing. Maemo will be at best a farm team, a stepping stone to the big leagues.
