Great news!

I've had a soft spot for Maemo (and it's successors) since I got a N770 a few years ago. Loved the Debian package manager, gnome-ish user space, Python bindings for just about everything on the system -- it was everything a Linux geek would want in a tablet.

Yeah, Maemo 5 OS (from 2009) has about 500 Python packages, while MeeGo Harmattan OS (from 2011) has almost 200 Python packages :

It's a shame that Nokia left and Android is filling in the space. But perhaps the open source community can carry the torch forward.

Nokia ceased to sell Nokia N9 in many countries in 2012, but it is still available in other countries, sometimes at low price. It is estimated that Nokia N9 sold some million units in 2011 and 2012, e.g., in 2011/Q4 it sold more (1.5-2 million units) than Nokia Lumia. So there is a good MeeGo Harmattan community worldwide, and typical real Linux mobile users keep using their devices for some years.

So I see MeeGo Harmattan OS on Nokia N9/N950 in its best moment, mature, with many fantastic projects (Inception, Open Mode Kernek, MultiBoot, NITDroid/Android 4.1, Easy Debian, Harmattan SDK on device, etc). And it will be easy to port many softwares to Sailfish OS and Ubuntu Phone OS, due to common Qt/Qt Quick use.
