this is amazing news.

Guess we should all be happy with what we got, stop complaining and settle for mediocrity then..........

N900 was the closest to any device for getting it almost right with the hardware. For geeks- N900 still rocks, but for consumers and smartphone users used to better device integration, Maemo is weaker than Android. Even the performance advantages are gone now, with 2.2.

Funny, when I retired the N900 as a phone, due to the weak 2G radio, I used it as a netbook, media player and MAME device.

Now that less and less Flash sites work with the N900 and almost all work with my Inc, I went to using the N900 as just a media and MAME device. My utility with the N900 is now just those functions. In fact, it is now always in airplane mode.. Added (this helps, big-time with battery life )

Oh well, tech changes every few months now, so NO device will stay in favor beyond about a year- anyways
