As for your second point. Yes. I understand that. However, 3rd party can only take you so far. 3rd Party needs incentives/profit/motivation and most importantly an attentive 1st party. To be honest, no one can deny that Nokia is not giving much attention to the N900.

Why would 3rd party care if the 1st party is treating the device as a pet project?

Anyways, I'm not going to argue any further. No need to make another thread grow. I posted my questions. and I'll wait and see.
