Well - for a short while there I was under the impression that Nokia was getting serious about Maemo and then they just announced some kind of merge with another Intel project:

When is Nokia going to realise that it is not about their bloody platform it is about applications and who the fuck is going to develop anything for Maemo now. The way I see this Nokia effectively "flip the bird" to all early adopters and developers for the Maemo platform.
I browsed around at some blogs and saw lots of attempts to soften the blow: "Maemo6 is just the first instance of the new MeeGo platform". BS! It's an entirely different beast based on an entirely different platform. It might use the same api's but the underlying OS is quite different (rpm/deb for one).
This is a bad idea and I for one will take another look at Android - at least Google seems to have a firm sense of which direction they are heading.
