I bought my N900 because there were promises in the air of the Flash 10.1, 3D games, extensive software support and support for the next gen OS.

However, Nokia has no obligations to develop us anything after we have bought the device already, aka Nokia has our money. N900 is a product that is "ready" right after Nokia got it sold.

What can we do about this? Pretty much nothing.

Nokia did not promise any of the above. Adobe demoed Flash 10.1 but so what? Nokia is not paying anything extra to make existing consumers happy and that is the way of the capitalistic world.

Instead we have silence of the matters we are arguing here at the forums. Please do not start flame wars about how bad everything is here at Maemo.org

It really will not help. What will help is that you will not buy the products of the company in the future that you do not like. That is also the idea of capitalism.
