Yes, it does with the coming of PR1.2 its the first device with Pre-installed Qt, and it is future compatible with the MeeGo and its 3rd Party apps !! everything that runs on MeeGo will run on Maemo !

Does this mean that, let's say Samsung makes a resistive screen device with MeeGo on it, we can port the Samsung version?

Added "(commercial)" to the title, but doesn't seem to load it yet.

There will still be flashable versions for the N900 I'm sure for quite some time all. So as MeeGo becomes "mature" you'll still be able to flash it and use it.

Now.. whether there's actually going to be a "user" experience that degrades between the use of capacitive or resistive *shrug*.. but it'll be there for those who want it I'm sure. (They'll just say it's "devel").

(ETA: I am, however, saddened they decided not to official support it.)

I guess now nobody will dare even to mention flash 10.1 :(

So N900 becomes Holy Grail , IMO MeeGo wil adopt capacitive and mutlitouch screen without hardware keyboard..N900 with Maemo 5 stays the only real pocket computer!!!! :)

If Meego is being designed for capacitive, does that mean we are likely to loose the physical keyboard? This blows. I dont want meego if it has no keyboard.

to Peter@Maemo Marketing : sure user UI is priority, but it just doesn't seem to be ethical to screw customers who buy the MOST EXPENSIVE and highest-end mobile phone available from nokia, only to have it fall by the way side and become a legacy device.

If MeeGo is seen as an OS for top end nokia phones, then it sounds like nokia was covering the wool over n900 buyers by leaving future maemo support purposely 'open' so that we wouldn't know we're buying a shiny new device that has reached its end-of-life.

but hey, i've got pr1.2 downloading now, i only have myself to blame when i bought the n900. caveat emptor eh nokia? i'm still an n900 fan, regardless of the company shafting us for the sake of 'the future and scalability' that is the meego cashcow.
