Seems like a waste of time to me, and a great way to make our community look immature. If they thought it would be profitable to make it for the N900 they would have already.
You don't write to Adobe or Microsoft asking about Linux support for Photoshop or Office do you?

There are substitutes for photoshop & office for linux.
Do you have a Shazam substitute for the N900? If so I would really like to hear about one...

I wont get into it but I strongly disagree with the petition as well.
EDIT: That's just my opinion, sorry for being a Debbie Downer. Maybe the Shazam devs have a kind heart after all.

Lazarpandar - you're correct; companies only develop software where they are going to see a return. They see the N900/Maemo as having such a small user base that they would not be able to recoup the costs of development.
But that assumption that it is too small may be based on incorrect information. If they suddenly start getting hundreds of emails from N900 users saying "where is Shazam for my device" they may revise their strategy.
It certainly doesn't make the community look 'immature' in a childish way (if that's what you meant).

Regarding an alternative, anyone ever tried Midomi? they've got an iphone app but you can also use the service online (God bless our flash enabled n900 
)
i never tried it myself on the phone, just through my laptop, and it worked great. Someone give it a shot and post some feedback?

Haven't heard from them since.
