I'm disappointed to see Nokia moving Maemo/MeeGo devices further and further away from being a more desktop-like experience, even while everyone else is converging slowly toward a more desktop-worthy one. Near as I can tell, I still haven't replaced my N800--just managing without it for now, since it's just too slow and unsupported to tolerate anymore and the N900 was just going in that wrong direction for me, too--I didn't want a phone, I wanted a pocket computer.
You could always go for a netbook/smartbook/whatever the hell Intel is calling it now

Sensation, Galaxy, Optimus. Only men with small dicks buy phones with such names.

Android doesn't even have multitasking UI easily available right from the start.it does have previously opened apps that you can't modifyi or close apps from.

As owner of a n770,n800 and (sadly) a n900 (the worst device of them all), i will take it as another Nokia joke to bring to the market *another* device with yet-another-revision-of-the-OS that, of course, will have a myriad of 1st-generation bugs.
But they're getting better at it.They already have told people,before buying the device, that the platform will be dumped,
I dont know if i'd interpret that as a polite gesture, or if they're trying to beat some world-record of cinism.
And, please, dont dream about "the platform will be continued, and bugs fixed".You already know the closed-source drivers tale, right?

There seems to be some kind of cosmic relation between Maemo.org forums home grown linux nerds and big blogs like Engadget.
If one likes the another, other one has to hate it.
