abill_uk, you're new, you have no idea what the people in Nokia working on Maemo have done, both in and out of work. Over the past 6 years it has been an honour and a priviledge to work with those guys and they've contributed more to the FOSS community than you ever will. Any further work on MeeGo by Nokia, which will happen, they've already said it will happen, they've also already said they'd release a device this year based on those efforts, is a bonus. Hopefully, at least for the time being this device range will go back to being strictly for enthusiasts and developers, so we no longer have to deal with jack asses like you.

Well, this community wouldn't exist if it weren't for Maemo and the line of NITs. Is that substantial enough for ya?

What do you do other than complain? We'd respect you more if you actually seemed to do something other than that...

You're whining, not I. I try to be impartial and see things from both angles. I'm not saying Nokia couldn't have done better, but who really cares? The people involved did the best they could under the circumstances and your comments are both hurtful to them and those of us that try very hard to make this community better. What do you do other than complain? We'd respect you more if you actually seemed to do something other than that...

However, it is true that Maemo was a hobby (or "R&D learning project") for Nokia. I guess the Maemo 5 was first time they actually realised the potential of the OS, but then they wasted time ditching it for Meego and then dropped the ball by jumping to Microsoft bandwagon...
