But they do sell shitloads of records. I've never heard a one, but I'm sure people with different (I won't say lesser) tastes than I buy those records.

Truth is, what most of us are angry about is that all that Maemo was is about to cease exist, in one form or another.
100% agree. But I think clarity of exactly why that's come to pass is what is lacking in all of this vitriolic banter. Maemo was killed due to sheer incompetence, bad management and ultimately Nokia not realizing what exactly they had from the 770 to the N900.

Simply stated, they didn't capitalize. This is what happens when you do that.

This device is about to go down in history as a revolutionary device that didn't happen due to bad management decisions, and never again will we see anything close to it from nokia, if Ms is truly at the helm of Nokia.
Disagree slightly. Bad management, a beta device that could have been revolutionary, half-delivered.

MS is at the helm now because of prior bad decisions. That's a harsh truth.

And guess what, in spite of what really sells, I could really use another Maemo device, with updated specs. I'm afraid this will be no more.
Agree fully. Gladly, I've found a level of comfort with Android.

Too bad it's a forced happiness.
