Sure, but at least I think something needs to be done when in a noticeable % of discussions I'm involved someone comes and says "all this is fine, but what about Harmattan/MeeGo in the N900", and then the discussion goes elsewhere beyond the point of the original topic.

Doing some work done in such context is more difficult and actually those interruptions possibly don't help making any real progress in Maemo 5, Harmattan or MeeGo. If we all understand this while discussing here, fine. If not then people like me will need to go and get some real work done in contexts less exposed than talk.maemo.org.


I honestly believe most of the 'N900 FUD' has lost track of itself and I consider it a cause in itself.

If someone thinks the only cause is Nokia not disclosing here and now a crystal clear plan committed about the N900 support then I politely ask you to look at the current situation and the implications:

Fresh Maemo 5 and Ovi Store getting regular news updates. No Harmattan / MeeGo releases yet. No next device announced yet. Early platforms plans already shared with developers, almost as soon as we have something solid to share. Increasing gitorious.org activity and MeeGo source code weeks away from a release.

plus...

Fierce and fast competition happy to follow all this activity and very happy to receive any end-user relevant news about current and future products in order to plan accordingly. Usually we don't get that much from them.
