Yea, I figure in about two years we'll see something that is actually usable.

- the drivers for the N800's wireless chips are available then?
- Nokia has published the power management specs?
- Linux has magically obtained a usable HWR engine?
- What did I forget?

Instead of complaining you can help to make it possible...

Either way, it's not a matter of maemo goodbye though.
I, like threadstarter, was abit happy there until i realised that Ubuntu Mobile will make use of the Hildon architecture and yes, they are developing based on maemo operating system.
While i'll still be stuck on this Hildon monster for sometime, i think Ubuntu Mobile means we're gonna get a lot more hildonized apps ready. =)
Cheers!

With Intels MID platform, I don't see much future for ARM based devices like the N800 unless the standby times on the x86 stuff is really short. No way to know until its out I suppose =)
