I cannot read that site at all. I tried searching it on Amazon.com without any luck. Is that a Nokia stylus or a third-party made stylus? Either way, good find! (Except that it doesn't help me with my N800, and even if I have an N900, I couldn't buy from that site.)

To your final point--soooooo you mean hardware when you mean "Android?" I'm still very confused. Where was Maemo 1.x (OS2006?) versus the G1 (with Android 1.5, as the first commercially released Google blessed handset came packaged with)? Is that what you mean? You're still not being very clear about what you're comparing.

As far as software OS's go, their stories are very similar. One year after 1.5, near as I could tell, Android was very rapidly building up toward (or had already put out) 1.6 and was already aiming at 2.0. Similarly, one year after the first Maemo (OS2005) was released on the Nokia 770, Maemo very rapidly moved up to OS2006 and aiming for OS2007. Very big upgrades all-around in both camps.

If you want to talk HARDWARE support, that's quite different. Hardware support has ALWAYS been far, far better for HTC's G1, where you can easily walk into a store and get face-to-face support from where you bought the unit as well as, even this far out into the future now, replacement parts of all sorts. I've never had quite the same luck with Nokia in either regard.
