That didn't work out for Maemo. Is this time going to be different?

I don't know. But Maemo didn't also happen to be the most popular desktop Linux distribution. And it was effectively abandoned at birth by its creators, which I have a suspicion Canonical is not about to do.

Depends if it gets shackled to a completely schizophrenic manufacturer or not.

I use Maemo every day and I'd say it definitely worked out.
