Not to discredit any of the points made, but this is essentially a community-run service. Granted, there are some bigger players that have much more control over decisions and actions such as the ones that led us to this, and I certainly feel for anyone who has dealt with this already on their N900, as it is so new. I have been running maemo since shortly after the release of the 770, and there have been a few problems, but overall, I have been amazed at what both maemo.org, and the community continue to pull off.

This is not apple, and I love that. Nokia makes great devices, and with the tablets, they have thrown the reins openly to the community.

Have faith, repos will be back, and better than ever.
