For the same reason why N. America doesn't get any "cool cars", has limited coverage on "world sports" or news, if at all, along with the belief that "if it ain't American", it ain't worth covering"...among other reasons.

Because there are only Apple Google and some Palm fanboys working at Engadget and Gizmodo and they have the most influence in the US.

And the US press is no longer journalism. It's entertainment. Maemo is no where near top 40, so that's your reason.
