meego is going be on the flagship nokia n900

you are completely misinterpreting that article. no-where does it mention that the N900 will be running MeeGo.

Try thinking of it as 'a-meego', as in 'friend' in Spanish. That helps me get past the name :)

I have "A MeeGo Phone"...

"Oistano pointed to Nokia's N900, a Linux-based smartphone introduced last year, as an example of devices that would benefit from MeeGo" ...

dunno why...but the word maemo sounds very cute like a kid with speech impairment. while meego sounds like "amigo" or "may i go" or me ego = my ego...

can maemo just absorb moblin and vice versa w/o changing the name??? moblin sounds cute too :p

Hmm this puts me in a weird position. I was saving money on the phone and now this... Don't know whether I should still get it.

That's a really good question, and along the same lines, does maemo.org even need to go away? Can't we plug into MeeGo as a support function?

i would think that it would send a very muddled message if Nokia would continue to accumulate OS for their phones... Symbian, MeeGo, Maemo...something has to give.

Because MeeGo is based on Qt, allowing the apps to be easily back ported to Maemo 5 w/ Qt. Does that benifit the N900.....yes. Does it say it will run on the N900. No.

That's not what I mean at all. I'm simply talking about the organization.
