Nevertheless, that idea went through my head when I started reading articles today like this and this...
When these articles says things like "the door remains open for new OS entrants, predicting that Nokia's Linux-based Maemo platform is a strong contender to feature in future smartphones" it makes me ponder the huge potential of maemo.
It is funny to me, and at the same time kind of scary, to see that people are expecting such big things from meamo, and for Nokia's future in the North American market. Consequently, I hope Nokia doesn't "nokia" this one up like the N97.
So one day when my friends are just trying out a new maemo device for the first time because they want to be cool and involved in an open source community--- I can say yea...I know...I was there before it all happened...
Now if I could get a meamo.org 2009 summit shirt to prove it!!

you get it...The point is that it is interesting to think some day (and perhaps in our lifetime
) maemo may be the "in thing" as far as mobile OS's go, instead of just some R&D experiment that Nokia doesn't know what to do with...
