Yes!! You finally get it It took you two pages of reading to understand what I want to say.
I said, or tried to say (writing in english makes it more complicated to me) that maemo sank, and i bet meego will, because YOU made it closed platform. BECAUSE YOU DON"T GIVE A F U C K about ppls needs. You closed it not from a programmers point of view, but from a customer point of view. So Nokia understood, that there is no point in investing in a platform, which won't attract new CUSTOMERS (do i need to write a definition of this word? Well i will write the cynic one: It is a guy from whom a company can suck money). The great (again - no irony here) linux, maemo, open source generally speaking community will allways support itself. You have specyfic needs, very diffrent then the needs of averages. But this makes the platforms, in which such community is involved, or "worse" - on which they are based, useless for making money.

Nokia understood that, nokia was disapointed. I bet, that when they tried to put n900 on wider scale market they thought - hey, we gave Them the best platform ever created, and the decent hardware. So let's just sit down and watch They make apps and we will earn $$$. But u didn't. What You did, was write an apps which was USEFULL, not EYECANDY and FUN. - you wan't attract an average customer by that.
You wan't??? Is this a new word?
Btw Elop is already rocking the Nokia.
