I wonder if the Intel games etc will work on the RPM based Meego on N900, if not you do wonder what developers are actually going to move to developing for the N900 if there is no customer base for there apps once they have developed them?
I agree. Stkeeps had some explanations, but this move by Nokia makes little sense. Why the N900, why not the N950? The N900 is old, by the time any usable comes out from Nokia, it will be about 2 years old. Why would anyone want to develop anything on a 2 year old device, that hardly anyone use on a regular basis anymore?

No, this is just a last desperate move by Nokia trying to prevent developers running to WebOS or Android or whatever else they may do on their own. Or maybe (but unlikely) it is one step of several to create a plan B.
