Clearly they think the N900/Maemo is crap and want to pretend it never happened. And those major OS updates we've gotten were just Nokia's wiley attempts to fool us into thinking they actually were supporting the device.

I'm bent because Nokia hasn't announced support for flash 11.0 or MeeGo 3.0 on the N900. What are they doing??
Maybe I don't understand... But I'm pretty sure no PC/Laptop manufacturer would design their new models based on older OS when there's a newer one out there. That's how things worked, and that how it'll always work right? If Nokia designed the next generation models based on Maemo (when there's Meego out there), that device would have been a complete failure from the start!

Before Meego, Nokia folks may have had high hopes for Maemo (N900) in all it's potential, who knows? I still think the N900 did NOT fail on consumer market. It served a lot of people here.
