My wife is already happy that I'm going to buy next Maemo/MeeGo device soon. She will be able to play FloboPuyo anytime she wants.

We don't know for certain, but this whole thread is about a quote from Nokia stating that meego (most likely, depends how you read into it) will not be officially packaged for the N900

Yes I do want solutions from it, but I expected Nokia to provide the solutions themselves (bug fixes mainly)

I don't care about Meego specifically, I care that, if this is the case and the N900 will not get Meego, then Maemo and the N900 are already losing support and development (makes sense, why else has PR1.2 taken so long to finish)
EDIT: Missed the second part. It matters because I paid to have official support and bugfixes. I didn't buy any old computer, I bought a mobile computer packaged with an OS provided by the same company, expecting that company to support it.

I could be wrong, but i don't think petrovich, fmms, transmission, tune wiki, joiku, various emulators and games, fapn, fm boost and others that i use often were officially supported. Even though some of this stuff was advertised and said to be on the device NOKIA did not deliver.
That point is that Maemo is evolving into MeeGo.
I feel like Nokia turned their back on me (in many ways, despite the support contributions/FW updates they do still make and have made since i purchased) so i have turned my back on them. i will never again call customer service (horrible) or expect anything other than a random forum chat on their website. If i can't find it here @ maemo.org then screw it. this place carried the phone for me since i got it. Not nokia. If nokia doesn't lift another finger i am still grateful because they already gave it the best upgrade in my opinion. making it open source and accessible to the the folks here, who are doing the heavy lifting anyway it would seem. Besides... things seem to happen faster here than via "Official Nokia Support"

If the N900 can't support it, most people (except the ones that are turning their back on Nokia, we are a minority) will go out and buy the latest ("First") device that does.
