(Reuters) - Nokia sold less than 100,000 top-of-the-range N900 smartphones in its first five months on the market, researcher Gartner said, indicating it has yet to mount a serious challenge to the iPhone and Blackberry.

I can't see Adobe or many other developers bothering with a population that small....
Not true. The news was corrected, 100,000 sold in the first 5 weeks, not months.

Whoever was the source of the first figures, shame on them, the wrong figures are out all over the web. Engadget corrected their post begrudgingly.

I have been a Maemo supporter since the 770. What happened on the 770 happened due to chip support, which was not fun for me, but when the chip can't handle it, that's that.

The n900 is a totally different case, since, yes it does have chip support for 10.1. I have been part of this community for a long time, was absent for a year, lost my ID and password due to Outlook issues, and had to start over with MaemoMD. I also have a few contacts on the higher up in Nokia I will ask; my schedule is atrocious, but I will post if I hear anything.
