I disagree. It's not irrelevant because I've been asking for sales numbers, accurate ones. No dice. So then you have to look at your audience. If it's too small, then it'll go the way of Openmoko; it will die.

Not many companies keep niche products when they're not used to spending money as such. Nokia is no exception. They joined up with Intel to share that cost and get the exposure that means more sales.

It's not about who all jumped on the N900 for its software stack. It's about how many people did jump in total. I don't get the argument against wondering what those real numbers are and why the community is so against finding that out too.

Explain that to me, please. Makes no sense to not want to know the numbers of sold to date when it helps set the pace in which you should expect things. If it were a blockbuster, you're probably going to get more updates. If it were mediocre, then you might be pushed to the back burner. If it were a bust... you'll probably not expect a damn thing.

I don't think Intel pushed Moblin hard, they won't push MeeGo hard either.

We'll see. I don't see the immediate benefits. MeeGo on the netbooks is basically Moblin 2.x - different colors and with Chrome integrated so far.
