I've heard this argujment before and *can* relate to it. However:
* The difference between a PIII and a modern processor is, in many ways, smaller than the difference between OMAP2420 (and the surrounding architecture) and the OMAP3430.
* Having a good usable UI on a Maemo 5 device /and/ a decent user experience on an N810 will cost more to develop. Nokia *can't* ship a sub- standard UI (if Maemo 5'll be as good as planned) and officially support it.

And things like Debian will allow you to replace Maemo with something else; or keep Maemo 4. Nokia's plans to differentiate at the UI layer, and open the lower layers will help with other replacements at the higher levels - just as you describe.
