android is a market hype since google did A LOT in terms of marketing, however maemo is not, since nokia did nothing.

That's because android is just a shell to run java apps. It's based on the linux kernel but it's certainly not what one would traditionally call a linux distro.

One of the reasons is that people had started developing apps (or at least playing around with android) years before an android phone was even released.

For all intents and purposes, yes. Slightly different than how its done on the Maemo devices, but basically the same.

Both versions run Debian (or Ubuntu) in a chroot, however the Android version seems to access it via VNC because Android does not have an X server while the Maemo version uses native x11 forwarding.

I'd agree that Android is a market hype if it dies down soon. Unfortunately, there's a ridiculously little chance of that happening.

Be realistic.
well... don't know how much you really know about stock markets in reality but mass movements create a lot of arbitrage to those who have guts to swim crosscurrent. now there is a great panic about nokia. reasonable people and somewhat reasonable bots stir the soup and there is no sense to be seen atm.

your reply applies to idealistic investors but in certain situations, masses flow stupidly. and with apple masses are speculating. no dividend means people are waiting for bigger share price. with companies that pay constant dividends, price solely means nothing. and if dividends stay at certain level, real time pricing of stock has no effect to anything.

You meant to say, "Should google drop android and go with meego and symbian". In which case, yes.

@lpotter of Nokia Corporation
Is that an honest opinion!
