The problem is we have no idea either way if the n900 will be officially supported or not. No official announcement has been made. We may get a PR1.3 update we may not. We just don't know. Will the n900 have a fully working MeeGo implementation? It depends on the progamming effort. So far it does look promising. Has Nokia ceased development of maemo? We are still unsure - they have stopped work on hildon. Does the n900 have a long productive life ahaed of it? Yes, people are still releasing new software. If you really want to you can hack about with the root filesystem and change stuff. Does the n900 need Meego? I don't think it's future depends on it. It is still a viable platform and free SDK kits are available for it. Meego would be nice! Is the n900 crippled or held-back in anyway? I don't think so. I use mine all the time and very happy with it. It's been a worthwhile investment. Will we get Flash 10? Unless we can "port" a version from the next Meego handlheld - not so far. As a community we don't know anything (not from official sources) but plenty of rumours. Is it worthwhile contacting Nokia on the community's behalf and demand (in the nicest possible way) firm answers from Noka?
