Let's start by reviewing of some important N900 spec's

OpenGL ES 2.0
600 Mhz Processor
32GB Memory
256MB Ram
Full QWERTY keyboard

That's pretty much impressive but that's not it N900 Software stack is completely build on Opensource standards use of dbus, gtk, apt etc..

All of sudden nokia decided to leave everything behind and start meego that's fine but why do we have to suffer from there mistakes?

After meego is announced many people has many question will N900 get Meego or N900 will get updates or not.

Yes by seeing weekly build we can be sure N900 will get meego but how long our platform will be supported?

How long are you willing to depend on Nokia?
This problem is not only with Nokia all the mobile industry is suffering from this problems. There are many android phone which still running Android 1.5 just because there manufacture decided not to invest time on devices that are already sold.

Manufacture are very clever they Advertise there product as Opensource but they keep most of the important drivers like OpenGL closed this make impossible to build our own operating systems for our devices.

Manufactures does not care about us all they care is balance sheets.

We need a long term solution for this problem.

Please post your suggestions.
