[maemo-users] N900/Maemo 5 review

[From: Kevin T. Neely]

I don't understand why that's such a big deal.  *all* hardware gets tossed
aside eventually.  Mobile just happens more often than others because the
development space is so fast.

If you want something that you can keep around for a while, get a big
desktop.  That probably has the longest shelf-life.  Still, the N900 will be
more-or-less open and hackable hardware just like the N800, so continued
development of other platforms will be based upon hobbyist interest, just
like everything else.
