MaemoJedi, interesting post. I agree with some parts, but i think you need to understand how other systems have worked in the past....
Iphone took a good year to get the fuss and attention it is getting now, before that the apps weren't that great!

Linux, going back alot further took a long time to get as main stream as it is now. Yes, some developers can be protective.

But my experience here is that most of them are working on many projects at one time. And they are doing in (Mainly) for free, as supposed to Iphone/Windows based phone software peoples...

I have to admit my first thought on here is to learn some more coding myself. I have to admit i've been in IT for 15 years, and would consider myself pretty techy. Even with that it doesn't look easy - so learning to listen to them more
I'd suggest helping the coders help you. If you are unable to learn the coding, start being descriptive with what you want, and be willing to wait. Nothing will come out soon - as a lot of people are working on the key functions of a phone that is not even full available yet (Sorry, MPD customer here!)

Take a step back and look at the time frames and timescales - i'm very sure, as mentioned by other people here that emulators are important to people, so will get completed

Good luck in getting one sorted, but would recommend a slightly more constructive and patient approach in the future
