Could this is the wrong way round?

Mixing hardware and software in these discussions is not useful.
Maemo was born with the Internet Tablets but as a software platform could end up in other kind of devices. Peter has been commenting about this in the New name for internet tablet thread.
Probably the tablets depend on Maemo (why would Nokia go for a different platform to continue this line?) but... does Maemo depend on the tablets? Certainly not, and this is why Peter was interested in stirring the naming discussion.
Our team is called "Maemo Software", it's growing and has no plans to disappear - as explained many times and this will be hopefully the last time. If you see it tied only to the concept of Internet Tablets then you are missing something. "Internet" (always connected) and "Tablet" (touchscreen) are at the very heart of the Maemo strategy, but for what is known about Fremantle (e.g. high definition camera support) it's already clear that the potential for expansion is big.
And you haven't even smelled Harmattan, which is looking good...

Texrat:
My hats off to you....given all that you have recently encountered, you are still very positive and upbeat about Nokia and the tablet's future. You could very easily be pissy about the whole thing---I hope they realize that they maybe dumped the wrong guy.

Tex, this is a common misconception spread by two generations of Europeans and Americans for which tomorrow could not be anything but better than today.
The way of life (OUR way of life) induced by this belief has led us to the point that our kids (indeed, the youngest of us too) face a paradigm change : better enjoy today, because there is a serious chance that tomorrow will be worse.

Centralizing discussions is good, but wiki is not good for discussion. Merge threads about same subject, and put result of discussions in wiki.
