One N900 does not a platform make...

I am sorry, I don't mean to offend you, I am just puzzled. Maybe we should post slower

You can put a bunch devices on the market but unless people buy it then it is meaningless for those devices to be on the market. Essentially MeeGo needs to have a good user base before we start seeing applications.

Well, I see no reason why this should not happen... The only reason people aren't buying MeeGo phones, tablets, you name it, is well, because no one is selling them yet
