That seems actually quite realistic estimation, but of course that's not very impressive figure when it comes to smartphone sales, still nice start in any case.

I don't really see Maemo being used on lower end smartphones though, as I understand Symbians microkernel really does have advantages in less powerful devices, if only they'll manage to clean up its APIs and reinvent the UI in which the qt probably helps nicely. Hopefully that also does make it easier to port the apps to both Symbian and Maemo with minimum effort.

Anyway Maemo will have to find its user base from the MID crowd which will limit it's growth potential along with the fact it'll most likely be only found in Nokia devices.

But still, I have high hopes
