Hello Mark,
You have a valid point, but what I know as a matter of fact that Nokia has developers working on Maemo and they are paid developers, I still agree with you that they are not that many and no lots of applications are out from them but I see that is normal because that is the target group of such a device GEEKS
so, we buy it to work on it and pay Nokia in sense of time
Regards
Samer

...provided you're still interested in an orphaned product... (Sorry,
folks, but as great as the Maemo community is, it's far from the same
thing as support from the original manufacturer.)
The recent developments on Maemo and statements by Nokia clearly
indicate that not only does Nokia have no intention of ever making the
ITs a commercially viable product (and never did), but they also have
the same attitude toward all future Maemo devices. They'll continue
throwing out the hardware and hoping there will be enough early
adopters and *unpaid* open-source developers to keep taking the bait
and giving them money and making their devices useable.
I was cautious enough to avoid the OpenMoko trap because their device
was clearly not ready for prime time, but I made the mistake of
believing that a 3rd generation Maemo device meant that Nokia was
serious about their devices. Lesson learned...
Mark
