Maemo was nice, but setting up the SDK was a nightmare. That coupled with the breaking changes between each major version saw the app pool get smaller and smaller. I left the scene around the time the N810 was about 1 year old as the N900 was going to make all prior hardware obsolete- literally, as in the OS was not targeting it. I still have an N810 in storage somewhere. It was shockingly underpowered when I last used it. This was a repeating theme in Nokia - get a good technology and fumble it. They did something similar with a cloud enabled RFID based application my company at the time was planning to use. They EOL'd it suddenly just as we'd had all the training and were doing initial R&D to bring it up in our product.
