I disagree on the 'wont carry the n800' - I've taken mine camping, nightclubbing, renaissance fairing, to the beach - it is not big, heavy or very fragile. Short of hammering the screen with something, I think it is quite durable. Before I got the silicone skin on mine, it took a number of tumbles from me shirt pocket to the deck flawlessly.

I think the 'community' is always going to be clamoring for 'more! more!' , and rightfully so, but development is in the hands of those who know how to do it. I wish I knew how. I explored it a bit and was impressed by all the tutorials and such that are available for maemo developers. So I don't think they are resisting, it is just a matter of time and programmers availability. Open source means Nokia is not on the hook for everything, methinks.
