You hold onto those dreams as long as possible :)

Re: [ POLL ] Developer Horse-Race: Who'll reach feature-parity with Maemo5 first: Meego or NitDroid?
 

Would be nice...Maemo5 as the primary OS, an 8-16GB microSD with Froyo and another with Meego.

Venemo I agree to a certain extent. The only reason I would want Android is apps and games. Other than that I am very happy with Maemo5. That is why I want it to remain as a primary OS. But if they work on Meego instead of NitDroid, who says Meego won't be worse than Android?

Re: [ POLL ] Developer Horse-Race: Who'll reach feature-parity with Maemo5 first: Meego or NitDroid?
 

NITdroid will be the fan favourite.
Why you ask?
It's actually going to have support by the devs!
Unlike Nokia's stance on Meego.

I would add

• 3D Driver
• DSP
• Proximity sensor
• Proper Screen Blanking

Though maybe the first two weren't on the list for a reason?

I was under the impression this worked fine.. it just didn't do anything? Means the hardware side of things is already set up.

Anyhow on topic. I'd use Maemo 5 and dual boot Android for gaming if I run out of Snes and N64 games to play.

Hmm those are very surprising figures!!!

According to the poll, only 16.6% of N900 owners are happy to stay with Maemo!

A huge majority (83.3%) wants meego (45.2%) or android (38.1%!!).

That means if you recommend this phone to someone else, there's only a 1 in 6 chance that the person will be content with the OS that it comes with... and future upgradeability is still questionable (ease of installation, support and 100% functionalities should be taken into account).

And this is from a maemo community site, where it should have the highest concentration of maemo's fans.

Re: [ POLL ] Developer Horse-Race: Who'll reach feature-parity with Maemo5 first: Meego or NitDroid?
 

Those figures are not accurate IMO. We are all humans. And one of the greatest strengths (and weakness) at the same time is that we are never happy.

Maemo could be ten times better than Meego or Android, but unless we try another OS we won't believe it. People always want something better, even if they have the best. Personally I am 100% satisfied with Maemo, but as soon as Meego and Android are fully (or almost fully) working, I will be amongst the first to flash my device and try it. But not because I don't like Maemo. It is because I want to try something new.

That poll would be accurate once Android and Meego are available, and users have tried them all. Then one can decide which one he likes best.

The thread title doesn't really match the poll question - does the OP want to rename the thread to match the poll?

You forgot Neopwn BackTrack:

Four different OS in your pocket.

Re: [ POLL ] Developer Horse-Race: Who'll reach feature-parity with Maemo5 first: Meego or NitDroid?
 

..from a poll in a thread which specifically discusses installing something else than the OS the device comes with. It is obviously likely to gather people who are eager to make the switch.

To the question of the topic, I'd say MeeGo as it has a professional team officially doing a HW adaptation for N900. NITDroid might have an edge in the built in application features though, I guess we'll find out soon enough.
