What I think is that by the time Maemo 5 comes out the N900 will have been quite suficiently updated and stabilized for it to continue working well until the end of the device's life span. I also don't think that Nokia would completely stop providing at least critical updates for it. Besides, all the applications and the OS itself will not stop working just because there is a new Maemo OS and a new device that sports it. I think that most applications developed for the N900 will work unchanged in the N910 (or what ever device comes next). And the opposite will be true as well. So, don't worry about this is what I think.
