We knew last year this time that Maemo 5 was going to be replaced by Maemo 6. So at that point we knew Maemo 5 was still born, the shift was happening with or without MeeGo.

I think Nokia's biggest fault was not saying in advertising that the N900 is basically a developer edition and not for traditional end users. Most people leaving want an iPhone or Android device because they are "Phones" first with normal phone features implemented.

I also think Nokia has the best plan for "mobile computers" out of it's competitors. As much as we hear about MeeGo - Nokia has been working on Maemo 6 for over a year.

You can't tell me everyone on this forum wouldn't go crazy if the the next Nokia device had a dock to allow it to be connected to a keyboard, mouse or monitor to be used as a nano desktop yet mobile.
