I'm not entirely sure why the panic on here. Intel and Nokia seem to be talking about MeeGO being truly opensource and hardware compatible. So, if they're taking Maemo 5 and mashing it up with Moblin, isn't it likely the current hardware support will also come.
Secondly, you brought your device for the software it had with it at the time. If Nokia doesn't support MeeGO on the N900, I'm sure they'll carry on with bug fixes and apps will still be written by the community. Also, if MeeGO is truly open-source, shouldn't someone be able to create an N900 port of it?
I for one think this decision to merge with a major hardware developer is pure genius and will provide greater longevity for the Maemo platform. It was too niché - this will give it the boost it needs.
