Hey, you're preaching to the choir. The problem is that there is no such knowing on any platform (what upgrades will the Galaxy S get ? Will the iPhone 3GS get iOS 5 ?), only speculation based on precedents (which is better in the case of recent iOS history and worse in case of Nokia Maemo history). But knowing ? We're sadly far, far from that.

Froyo 2.2, end of September.

Yes. But that's the end of its road.

True. Thus the questions.

You can use Scout and Extended Contacts Search to solve that missing bits.

Ok I have some new questions
  • Will MeeGo be user friendly? Not a huge thing but important.
  • Will the user interface be mostly consistent? I'm not saying have the same user experience on every form of device but rather that the each hardware platform has it's own consistent user experience.
  • Will MeeGo be suitable for geeks and manage to be consumer friendly?
Again more questions keep the answers coming. Any answers are welcome.

I'd give my eye teeth for meego right now if it looked like this. I could play with a UI like that for hours just opening and closing things!

You can read others reactions about that in here. ;)

IMO that's prime example of UI that's very nice looking and all eye candy, but something i would get mad in a day after that UI shine have started to fade.
Iphone is great with the transitions as they actually underline the action you just did with not much of extra.

I believe the goal of the whole MeeGo project is to have a VERY similar interface on all devices. For example if someone has a MeeGo handset and they meet their friend who has a MeeGo tablet, the average user should be able to easy navigate the through the tablet's interface simply because of previous experience of learning it on their handset. Same goes with Netbooks and Nav systems all functioning with the same basic interface.

Yes.
Look at the MeeGo Tablet UX videos.

In theory, yes it will.

(OMG, I'm starting to sound like some marketing guy...)
Yes, MeeGo will (in theory) be geek-friendly like Maemo. It will have an X Terminal, and all sorts of stuff...

Check out the MeeGo tablet user interface on YouTube. It looks even better (IMHO) than that. ;)
