Too bad some corporation keeps coming along and taking wads of it and promising I bought something I don't really own. :P ...and I don't necessarily mean just Nokia, here. I just wish they had been better than that.

That's very witty. Indeed! ...except, I'm not sure that THEY, whomever they are at any given site and moment in time, had been here when THIS was originally started by people interested in TALKING... about TABLETS... that were made for the INTERNET... as opposed to the various tablet devices that were mostly being used as PDA's or overly power-hungry laptops missing a keyboard. This site has a certain amount of legacy those 34632432456 sites never had and we've already begun losing good people to said sites. It would be an incredible gain to win some, all or even MORE of those people back and their associates and friends. Savvy?

Can You imagine Wine guys with forum "focused" on talking about all operating systems? Or Debian guys with forum for Apple Mac/Ipods?
Because WINE is in threat of becoming irrelevant? Maemo is, and certainly will be, now that MeeGo was spun up and Nokia decided to put their NOKIA branded boots on Maemo's throat. Welcome to the orphaned OS fold.. right alongside the focused forums for old Atari, Commodore, TI (99/4A), Timex (Sinclair), etc. ...or should this forum proceed beyond the orphaned and remain relevant by reverting back to the much smarter original Internet Tablet Talk? I should prefer the latter. It would appear you never really understood the repeated replies to those "explanations" you speak of.

It seems ironic that you're in agreement with me there, but Maemo isn't the most open, nor the only "kinda-sorta open", and not even the best or most well supported by its own creators, out of all of them.
