If you would compare Nokia NIT and the cheap Chinese Maemo devices, the "only" differences are Nokia proprietary apps.
And these make the difference so huge, that most people do not consider these a competition.

And I do imagine Nokia NIT branch bankruptcy and closing once the market is flooded by spin-off devices with exactly the same functionality for half the price.
Especially in times so hard for Nokia, where they are inspecting every revenue stream very carefully and cutting expenses badly.
