No, they (Jaaski, actually) said:
"We will absolutely not forget N900 users and developers...If you are an N900 owner (or an owner wannabee) this is all good for you...All the MeeGo and Qt momentum will give you many more interesting applications to run on N900. Now and in the future."

That doesn't sound like 'Oops, the N900/Maemo is crap, you're outta luck' to me. Sounds more like 'If you have a N900 you're good to go for quite a while. in fact, we think the N900/Maemo is such an awesome start that 2 of the biggest companies in the world have partnered up and bet the farm that MeeGo can be the dominant OS for high-end mobile devices in the future.'

From now on we will do it better, with Intel.. Sorry, N900 users..."
So you're against progress? You would rather they didn't do it better?

Where am I wrong at that thinking?
Everywhere.
