Pure fantasy but the win-win solution would go something like this: Nokia realizes that its "schizophrenic" platform strategy has created hardship among both its user base and its developer base. As a show of good faith Nokia would pay to finish Instinctiv. The loyal Maemo user base gets thrown a bone for being patient and Nokia gets some good karma from the developer world. Seriously, if $6000 would come close to covering the remaining development cost, it sounds like it would cost Nokia less than the equivalent of one full time employee to make finishing this product profitable for Instinctiv.
