So you are right: it is less than a year.
Where was Android after < 1 year?
Depends on what you're talking about. The N900 isn't the OS. Android isn't the hardware. If you're talking hardware, which device are you comparing the <1-year about? Droid? In less than a year, I've gone from Android 2.0 to 2.2 with REAL 10.1 flash support plus LOOOTS of software and customizations with a very real future of plenty of source-code generated upgrades and EXCELLENT hardware support from everyone involved (from Verizon--who replaced my phones twice INSTANTLY in their store, to Motorola--who SECOND DAY shipped me a FREE replacement battery cover when I lost it).

I can't even BUY a replacement stylus or kickstand or anything for my N800 (nor one for the N900) never mind hope that Nokia would ship me ANY parts for free.

So.. is that the comparison you wanted to make?
