It doesn't matter if Nokia refuse to port MeeGo / Maemo 6 to the n900 - members of the community will do it - it's open source.

With these developments we have more choice and actullay more support.

One way or another the n900 will get an upgrade of some kind.

There's no way I am willing to spend at least another £500ish on the "next shiney thing" especially in the next 2-3 years - I bet many other people feel the same way.
So it is inevitable that the n900 will continue to get support of some kind.

It's all good news!
