I've been around since the Nokia 770, so you don't need to tell me...
Technology moves on and if Nokia would stop developing new devices,
competitors would go ahead and get the advantage.  If something does not
sell, you have to try something else.

What I've read, N900 is the official ARM platform for MeeGo and
certainly supported. You can install MeeGo platform on N900 already now.

Money comes from sales.  How many people would be enthusiastic of buying
something like N810 nowadays?  You cannot sell the same device for years
and years, it just gets old at some point.
