Don't know, don't think it matters much. It matters to me.

How well do you think it will get adopted and things actually get implemented/deployed by other companies though?
Who really knows? Certainly not me. I'll say this much: Everybody I knew thought I was nuts when I pre-ordered a G1 and that Android sucked when they saw it. I said just watch, in 2 years Android will be huge and on at least 10-12 phones. Well...I have the same feeling about MeeGo, and it will be a better OS than Android. So we'll see down the road if my crystal ball is cloudy or clear.

Lack of confirmed updates past getting Qt Mobility is somewhat lacking...and see what the support for the new markets will be like.
PR1.3 has been confirmed I'm sure. Google will find a link. And Nokia will have to warranty N900s, so at least some basic support will be around for a year after the N900 is discontinued. So no problem, support will last long enough.

Please state actual numbers, not the vague ones, that support this. Links to Nokia stated facts only, please.
Not available, you know that. But simple reasoning says that: Expanding the market for the N900 + short supplies of N900s for months + 2 giant companies teaming up on MeeGo = something went very right with the N900/Maemo.
