When all's said and done, the best thing you can do is to prove them wrong. Make something cool and worthwhile that'll make the rest of the world want N900/Maemo/MeeGo. Otherwise it'll still be a small island with limited inhabitants.

They dropped that fee too late after USB had gained too much momentum, they didn't assist with folks who wanted to create more Firewire based deployments. And above all, when they removed it from iTunes sync for iPhone, iPod (classic) and iPod touch, they took it out of view of their own commercial offerings. Also, the slow removal of it from their own products signals a death of their own product, Firewire.
Simply stated, they created it, tried to milk it, Intel came along with USB, it got faster with USB2, they countered with the (superior in my view) Firewire800, confused the plugs for people (even moreso than USB micro, mini, A, B that USB offers) and ultimately pulled it from their own machines... from iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch to Mac Air to some MacBooks not having it.
If that's not killing it, I don't know what is.

if that ever happens. Intel have been working on some variant of moblin for years now with few actual products using it.
its almost like they are holding it over microsofts head saying "provide cheap windows for low power devices, or else".

Even if you are not flash lover it's only tool to keep balance on this market.
In all this Open Sourceness there is one danger. If you make your technology completely transparent and free doesn't count on tech battle. Corporation will always amaze you by something else that will keep eye on it. on top of this open source invention.
If I can predict/bet the future of Flash this technology will be more and more open to survive. Now we have next step and CS5 let you keep source files as xml rather than .fla file... hmm.
At least as long as there is competition it's good for all of us. We shouldn't let to die anybody, keep them alive!
