Flash often gets ignored as a cross-platform solution, and often derided due to its ad legacy, BUT-- it remains a viable option that I wish was explored further.
Same goes for other web technologies.

Maemo 5 and its applications being incompatible with previous devices was one of the most terrible of the "non-free" stuff Nokia has been doing. Linux itself is a great example of care for compatibility. I have just installed the latest kernel in my old Pentium III at home, and also the latest versions of my window manager and browser, and it feels great. I have the impression the opposite is happening with the NITs, and It's a pity.
As a N800 user, I feel like I don't belong to this website anymore. I have been coming here only looking for old references about things people have done previously with the tablets, but I can't conceive starting conversations about new things we could do in Diablo...
I can understand many developers will just move forward, but will the development for N810 and previous devices really just die? And if a little community of "old timers" remains, where will they live? Do we have a space here at maemo.org, or will we have to create a new forum where we can go without having to hear about lame discussions regarding N900's incompatible software or worse: the iPhone?
I wish I could log in here and not see a single thread regarding problems in the N900 that have nothing to do with me. I just want to talk with people that run the same software as I do. I want people that can help me, and I want to be able to help people out. Right now I log in here and feel like I was entering the forum of some other device I don't own (e.g. iPhone, Android, whatever).
I'm not saying people shouldn't talk about the N900. I understand _that_ is what is happening in the Maemo world right now. Go on, take the forum. But I own a N800, and I want to be part of the community of N800 owners. Where are they?
