Nokia is suffering from the same symptoms of many large organisations - multiple products groups working in isolation on vertical products: N800,N810, N900 - Symbian Devices, etc. These groups struggle in various ways I believe - split funding, internal competition and inability to react sufficiently quickly (because of the first two points) to disruptive technology e.g. the iPhone, android. Nokia has been caught on the back foot by these 'new' technologies and having pinned its colours to Symbian in the past is looking for platforms now to differentiate, innovate and for it to be in turn disruptive to these technologies. Maemo I believe is that technology, but it is slowly gaining maturity (including upgrade paths) in a marketplace where consumers will be increasingly fickle. I agree that Nokia's strategy in the Maemo space has been 'weak' but perhaps now is the time where we will see Maemo get a clearer strategy and an investment profile worthy of such a great platform???
