its been mentioned 100x now by quim that there is many updates in the works for Maemo5 on N900.
The question is: will they come? Or will developers soon move on after the N900 has been dropped by Nokia? Seriously, ask yourself that question. Will you - as a small professional developer (by that I mean someone who makes a living selling his software) still develop software for a platform which is - in the current form - dead? I am awaiting a final FW by Nokia, and after that that'll be it.

I sincerely hope this will not be the case, but as of yet I haven't seen much which has encouraged me to think otherwise. Ovi Store is still empty (and always has been - despite a few tiny useful apps), the next FW is possibly miles away, and we don't even know anything precise whether the N900 will support the new OS or not:

So even if the N900 gets full version of MeeGo or not it still as a future with Maemo 5 updates, so it as not been dropped by anyone or for anything.
I do no care about MeeGo too much tbh, all I want is a fully functioning phone. Whether that's going to be Maemo or MeeGo, to me it's all the same.
