Hi nilchak,
I get your point, and I dread the same thing. But I think the user base is too big to be ignored - there is room for a follow-up. The only question is whether it will be Nokia (hopefully) or somebody else. After all, by supporting a device such as N900 we contribute to the process of making hardware and software less proprietary. If not Linux and similar had been supported, software and hardware would have been much more controlled by a few companies. How the present would have looked without the open source movement is indeed hard to know, but I think it would have been duller and more polished - we don't all want to drive standard cars or cars at all, for that matter. Freedom of choice is important - and freedom of choice is not just the choice between brands.
