Android in less time has evolved to a point where it surpasses Maemo and is now targeting big screen netbooks and even set top boxes, and I certainly hoped Nokia could take Maemo, into the netbook segment but it's probably too late for that now.
I do agree , what a shame. Nokia 5 years ago took a giant step with the N770 and then froze...there are those that can lead and those that should follow.
