Android maybe is more open with the sources but you forget the fact that Google doesnt give a **** of "sourcecode" theyre only intrested in web and control people that way. Bussines as usual.
Atm. Android is hyped as hell atleast in my country and that makes atleast me from that kind of ****...
But I agree that Meego + Intel seems to be a mistake so far...
Can only hope that Nokia holds back ALOT of UI/backend handset stuff and comes up with some suprises in april 2011...

I sincerely feel as if, had it not been for Intel, perhaps Nokia would have simply continued what they were doing so far and following their trend of speaking up a good game about open-source and letting the customer have control, all while acting counter to that by withholding an enormous amount of source code and continuing to refuse to communicate with the community of customers, developers and hobbyists alike.
I can't say iOS is any better but by contrast, Android has seemed like the best of the bunch with far less closed source in Android than Maemo has ever had AND they listened to everybody that called for untying their Google closed-source proprietary applications from the operating system firmware images so that you can have a far more lighter OS and far, FAR more updates and bug fixes to the individual applications without waiting for a whole new operating system update (the way Nokia has decided to go with Maemo so far, pathetically).
I hold high hopes for MeeGo, but it's quite likely to be the last opportunity Nokia may ever get from me if they fail to produce something that fails to hold my interest in something unlocked, open-sourced and unencumbered. Maemo was sold to me that way and fell far short of my expectations--and likely far short of many of the people that had bought into it before, too, seeing as how a lot of them aren't here anymore.

flash 10 or anything that was awesome and was demoed in the n900 is not coming to n900.
I dont really care since nitdroid project is making some awesome progress! i will get all my apps from the and market, while still using ovi free forever maps in maemo 5.
Nokia never meant to put those demos in the n900, all those things will be coming in the n9.
***AND if you think nokia will purchase the license for flash 10 for n900, you are freaking crazy.

How about the part where they discouraged developing for Maemo?

@ jflatt
I believe those comments are made with reference to the experience of Instictiv, and their decision to discontinue development of their application.
I don't think it was ever realistic to expect a thriving market for commercial applications on the N900. The user base is too small. The experience of Instinctiv has no bearing on the feasibility of developing applications using Qt. Their decision was based on economics, and nothing to do with technical considerations.

Nokia's slogan shouldn't be the pedo-palmgrabbing image with the slogan, "Connecting People"... It should be one hand open pleadingly with another hand giving the middle finger and the more apt slogan, "Potential Unrealized." --DR
