People write apps for platforms with the largest market shares, apple & droid. Not news. N900 never got the support to get market share. It could have though, the quality was there and they had a huge selling point. If it did the world would be a better place with better software on your phone and less spyware. Not what we got though, huh? We got Apple and Google in the race to who can smash the userbase harder with no meaningful alternative and fringe phones trying to catch up to where the 900 comfortably was a decade ago. Apple and Goog are both looking at each other and thinking "You guys doing that and actually getting away with it? Amazing! Well we'll just go even further!" And the only place where customers rights or welfare is ever even remotely served is where it happens to align with smashing a competitor and is absolutely incidental to their strategy beyond some marketing. It's nuts. The N900 was better in every single way, polish, stability everything. Got smashed by executive decision. You could build conspiracy theories around it if we didn't have such a rich history of total and complete incompetence to draw on and be a more likely explanation.
