hold your breath guys, CPU vendors are about to sell cheap phone platform too (x86), I am sure they will be small companis who will integrate them to provide custom devices and sell a device with the OS your choice (ie debian, mer) ... look at SHR they did not stopped when openmoko closed , I still believe there will be small series pockatable linux devices soon ... maybe we'll have to focus on functional priorities (*) and not marketting now , and see how many are we and much time / money are we willing to spend ... the question is not the death of maemo but the future of a stronger free mobile community,


what I fear is fragmentation of this community ... why not create a survey on where to move ? meego, fso, limo ?

Or this future proof OS for smartphones : http://identi.ca/tag/amigawillneverdie ? (</joke>)
