You get bug fixes for a year or two, but that's different than porting a whole new software release.

This is because most of the work is boring, endless debugging stuff and no-one wants to do it for free :) > I still appreciate that some1 from nokia gets into this discussion LOL I'm not speaking for Nokia since I'm just a lowly, poor software developer doing the boring parts of open-source ;) -Kimmo > please when you say Meego is supported on N900, send references and > links > > kind regards > Sam > > 2010/6/8 Kimmo Hämäläinen <kimmo.hamalainen@xxxxxxxxx> > On Tue, 2010-06-08 at 09:09 +0200, ext Samer Azmy wrote: > > thanks for ur reply > > but the question here, why they stop the support for it that > fast, > > even if Maemo5 is dragon > > they stopped the others > > and for me it sounds like a trend, please read history > > Nokia N77, Nokia N800, Nokia N820,Nokia N900 > > > 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.
