Well, then you(and me) has N900 and dual boot (or single boot) Meego on it.

Let's leave N9 for the unwashed ungeeks.

Re: Elop just said in Nokia results conference: "it's clear that first Meego device is 2011 event".
 

The schedule propably means that the Meego-Harmattan has been axed and only "real" Meego will be released.

Re: Elop just said in Nokia results conference: "it's clear that first Meego device is 2011 event".
 

And I had so high hopes for MeeGo-Harmattan HE...

Well, such is life.

Re: Elop just said in Nokia results conference: "it's clear that first Meego device is 2011 event".
 

What ? After so much of effort that Nokia puts into Harmattan. Plus the real Meego still is a very unfinished product overall as an os and so will Nokia want to go with Meego and just overlay it's custom UI on top of that ?

I think this is pure speculation now. But again, Nokia and rapid changing directions ... It's happened before.

Re: Elop just said in Nokia results conference: "it's clear that first Meego device is 2011 event".
 

... which is what we heared before on the net. it's a real pity. they're running in all directions and never arrive anywhere. :(

a lot of harmattan work was contributed to the MeeGo project.
so if harmattan as really been shelved all was not for nothing. and i'm sure they will use the UI and proprietary nokia apps from it on there MeeGo devices too

Re: Elop just said in Nokia results conference: "it's clear that first Meego device is 2011 event".
 

Well the "real" is unfinished now, but propably won't so much at a "2011 event". I would assume announced at MWC and released with Meego 1.2.

Personally I allways thought that the Meego-Harmattan was a recipe for massive consumer confusion. Not that sorry to see it skipped, and Meego brand launched in it's "real" form.

Re: Elop just said in Nokia results conference: "it's clear that first Meego device is 2011 event".
 

I don't know why anybody even thinks of Harmattan is any different then Meego, I mean Nokia said it by themselves that the next OS after Maemo 5 (the one you see on your N900) is going to be Meego.

Before that we knew that there will be Maemo 6 ( aka Harmattan ) but after the Nokia and Intel collision, its clear that what ever Nokia was working on the Harmattan will be blended with Moblin resulting in Meego. Simple

Re: Elop just said in Nokia results conference: "it's clear that first Meego device is 2011 event".
 

The problem I see is the time they're losing. Nothing on the high end for the holiday season? Waiting for the top-top-products until Q1/2011? Then you need to calculate them being delayed for the usual reasons.... So it might well be they don't ship worldwide before May/June 2011...

Yes, there's a certain market segment that would have been confused by the MeeGo/Harmattan-naming. But most simple end users wouldn't even have noticed; and many power users would have known and understood.

If it's true that Harmattan is as good as finished (including a hardware to run it, the N9), I would not understand how anybody could even think of ditching it for something that may or may not be ready in 6+ months.

Re: Elop just said in Nokia results conference: "it's clear that first Meego device is 2011 event".
 

@aikon00 nokia still planned to release a Harmattan product before moving to MeeGo proper.
