Yeah, I'm not really saying I believe it's going to happen. I don't have a lot of faith either. In fact, in my post above where I listed some of my criticisms of the N900, one of them was precisely my worry that not that many applications are going to get ported in actuality. Just a few obvious ones like VLC. I only meant, purely hypothetically, that it seems like with broader adoption of Maemo, upon the release of N900, maybe there's a glimmer of hope. On the other hand, another not unlikey scenario is that if there is an explosion of development for Maemo, it might really not be until Maemo 6 comes along and the N900 just gets forgotten. After all, it is acknowledged by Nokia themselves that the N900 and Maemo 5 are a stepping stone to their final destination with Maemo 6. And it doesn't seem like a good idea to assume that Maemo 6 will work on the N900.
