Sell it to the highest bidder and put the money in the 'server and hosting' kitty that we will need when Nokia pull the plug in 2012...oh, look at the date.

New idea: Have Elop sign the N900, sell it for $5000.

I think giving it to the Nemo guys would be great.
They do an awesome job and I would love to see Nemo getting more stable and usable in the future!
(Also I think it's kind of not so fair to change prizes after the end of the competition, but that's just my opinion

seems like i'm the only one on the other side of town. hehe anyway here's my post on the other thread:

dunno if my vote counts here but the idea of giving the N900 to the 3rd place winner in the games category was brought up first. that could have raised some expectations among developers in the game category, if they read that discussion back then. although it was never made official, the decision to stray from that idea could lead to some disappointment.
i'm not a developer and did not join in any contest, just want to express my opinion.

It was a difficult decision but finally I gave my vote to the Nemo guys. They are doing nice and interesting things and additional testing device is always useful 
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...28#post1139428
edit: to explain:
We got 10 Nokia N900 sponsored from the Qt Project for the second prize winners for the MeeGo Coding Competition.
In the MeeGo Coding Competition we just have nine categories, so we have to decide to whom we should give the 10th device.
Some month ago we had a discussion to give it to the 3rd prize winner in the Games Category because it was the category with the most number of submissions.
We haven't decided on it back then, though.
So the question is if it is fair to change the Prizes after the results of the coding competition were already published and we should give the spare N900 to the third prize winner of the MeeGo Coding Competition or if we should give the device to someone who could make good use of it but who isn't related to the MeeGo Coding Competition, instead.
I proposed the Nemo guys because they're doing awesome work (running Harmattan apps on the N900, how cool is that?!).
