Agreed.
Why should we spend another 300+$ on an android device when we already have gingerbread in our very N900?

Also, others may say android is very productive, shipped with superabundant number of apps, but maemo is still offers a wide variety of functions.

e.g:The task swicther that not even the 2010 devices could overtake it.

I believe Nokia should release the Maemo 5 again with a newer phone that has more horsepower to unlock its capabilities.

Totally agree.

I use Android to view Flash 10 contents and take advantage of some very good monolingual dictionaries that don't exist for Maemo...

And yes, of course, I wanted to see if it is worth switching to it permanently, ergo buying a real Android device. So far, I can only say it's a big fuss about nothing. Maemo is much better. And hey, if I need to install an app just to close or switch between the tasks... ridiculous...

Meego + Alien Dalvik will undoubtedly be the best deal! (if we ever see it).

Definitely has the potential to save money if Android really becomes a quality platform.

Well, hopefully. On their official site, Myriad say it will be "first commercially available on the MeeGo platform", without any further details in terms of time, handset etc... That's all I could find... Do you have any other sources?
