Reading the piece Why Open Source Phones Still Fail by Sascha Segan
I felt I am reading something similar to this Sky is Falling.. Scenario:
The article provided a pretty distinctively limited view of the way things work i.e. US!=World, Nokia’s main market atleast for now is Europe / Asia / Africa – thats where it makes its billions and that’s where many of its devices are aimed at.

I have been developing Mobile Software for a long time now, I felt that view with which the article built over the fact of failure of OpenMoko – but in my opinion there are many platforms which haven’t seen the light of the day in US, but play a major role in rest of the world. Take Symbian for example (which is now OpenSource Platform by the way).
Coming back to Maemo (N900 runs Maemo) / Android – Both are amazingly powerful platforms, given time they will be the leading the edge soon.
