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

Not saying Google necessarily is taking it in a bad direction, on the contrary I think they've done a superb job finally bringing a Linux distro to the masses without people even noticing that it's Linux.

i guess there are much more private free developers on android as there are with maemo. there has to be a reason for that.

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.

Has very little do to with fads; investors want to make money. And if the company seems like they're being directed wrong or have no direction, your company will lose share price(s).
Be realistic.
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.
