I was not intentionally being snide.

Personally I think Nokia should have continued using maemo - it's a stable linux os in my pocket and I think it's great.

But Nokia decided to go for the next shiny thing - meego, and it will not be officially supported !!??

MeeGo has a lot of potential but now we have to wait yet again for a new os to become stable and mature.

All the while the iPhone and android os mature and improve all the time.

BTW: Maemo was pushed as a commerical platform why include the bouncing ball demo and Documents to Go?
Why include the N900 in the OVI store?

Android has a much larger market and hence any sane commercial developer will target it over maemo or even Symbian.
