Good to see there are some dedicated people out there. However, I'm still not interested in Android.

What did you see? Barely work? I'd say we saw different things. I'd say it's Flash Player 10.1 beta on a platform that's currently seeing an awful lot of "Please Update Your Flash Player" when viewing content.
On the 770, due to the CPU, the sound was horrific at times, even simple things slowed it down to unusable levels. Been there, done that too.
I've yet to go into the NITDroid onto the N810, but I'm watching.
But no more deflections. I'm talking about the N900. What I saw, read above.

Ignoring your snide remarks. Maemo was never meant to be a commercial platform. That's what Meego/Symbian3 are for. Maemo by itself would've never sold the numbers needed to become a commercial platform.
There's enough of you to come up with an answer. You can confer if you like.

What was its point then?

There was no sound in the 770 NiTdroid port if I remember correctly.

Personally I think Nokia should have continued using maemo - it's a stable linux os in my pocket and I think it's great.
But Nokia decided to go for the next shiny thing - meego, and it will not be officially supported !!??
MeeGo has a lot of potential but now we have to wait yet again for a new os to become stable and mature.
All the while the iPhone and android os mature and improve all the time.
BTW: Maemo was pushed as a commerical platform why include the bouncing ball demo and Documents to Go?
Why include the N900 in the OVI store?
Android has a much larger market and hence any sane commercial developer will target it over maemo or even Symbian.

As an addendum to gerbick's response. For developers, people who like to tinker, etc..
The only way you are going see lots of commercial apps on Maemo is if the Symbian 3/Meego QT plan works. But then again I fully expect Nokia (sadly) to not upgrade QT past 4.7 which means anything after that won't work.
