Symbian is nearing end-of-life as the chosen platform for smartphones
for Nokia. As you might know N900 was recently released in select markets
around the world and it runs a fully Debian-derived Linux OS named
Maemo. I have been reading through N900 and Maemo reviews and
this looks like disruptive technology.

Symbian is still the largest selling smartphone OS right now, but
can't stand up to the challenges posed by Android, Web OS etc.
Symbian is not developer friendly and has stability issues. I am
looking forward to get my hands on an N900 and hacking on the
Maemo.

Nokia is betting on Maemo - the only current issue is that it
is fully GTK based (Hildon/Matchbox) but I read that Nokia
is planning to bring in QT as a choice to it pretty soon.
Since Nokia invests a lot in Qt this definitely make a lot
of sense.

Take a look at N900 and Maemo. It is surely one of the
directions mobile development will take, the other being
Android and its clones.
