Has the FOSS community utilized the device and further its content/capability in alignment with market's interest?
What on earth does "market's interest" mean? But yes, the FOSS community has absolutely furthered the content and capability of Maemo devices.

The answer is no. (general market acceptance
The FOSS community isn't responsible for vendors' marketing.

number of apps available in ovi, etc)
The FOSS community doesn't publish on Ovi, for many good reasons. Besides, Ovi didn't even accept Maemo apps until last year.
