point is as time passes OS requirements for hardware change as it adds more functionaility.
i think this is only natural.
I think just as sxc said here :

Other vendors typically support their hardware with the latest version of their OS for at least 18 month after their introduction.

So, the G2 or G3 phone can upgrade from 1.6 to 2.1.
iPhone can upgrade from 1.0 to 2.0, then 3.0.

But N810 or N900 do not have such a chance.

It will be acceptable if N810 can upgrade to Maemo 5
or N900 can upgrade to Maemo 6.
