My god, some people here are so hypocritical. It was clear from the beginning that the n900 is only a transitional device. Why do you have to pollute this forum with your pretended outrage?

It's disgusting.

Cheers

Nokia already seems to be "future proofing" Maemo 5 with Qt 4.6 in PR1.2 and Qt Mobility in PR 1.3. Libdui already runs on the N900 and there will even be a MeeGo base adaptation for the N900. If Nokia keeps the policy of not minding Nokia binaries on Nokia devices, I see ingredients for success. What I find kind of funny is that we know more about running not the next OS, but the one after that on the N900. :)

Does transitional mean like a tester device? like a model for a newer or better device?

If the N900 can't support it, most people (except the ones that are turning their back on Nokia, we are a minority) will go out and buy the latest ("First") device that does.

You prefer cynical assumptions, I prefer optimistic ones. Time will tell who's the more deluded... meanwhile, there's more FUD than fact in this thread.

Meego is not a problem. Focus on N900 and meamo...ovi store with paid content and apps(Qt4.6) that is what we need. why care about things that will be presented(nokia device) in 8-10 month time. Focus guys. pease.

I don't get that. If I buy a device and Joe Blow Community developer beats the manufacturer to a software fix or enhancement, I couldn't care less.

To understand this platform one needs to accept that it straddles a strange line where commercial (usually painfully) meets open source. Too many buying the N900 fail to consider that, and it's highly pertinent. This isn't Apple. It isn't Pandora. It's unique, and one either gets that and appreciates it or they don't.

Completely agree with the above comment, we all knew that this was a building device for Maemo, that's how is was billed to us. Let's all be realistic, the way technology is changing, we're all lucky now to keep a device for a good year until we see something that catches our eye. Personally I can't wait for the new device to come out, you can always sell the N900 and get the new MEEGO! :)
