just lies,myths,fud, and other **** comes from the nokia side of life.
the fact is that meego will be what this community and our devs will make with it PERIOD
thats all

So that means if i read this right that LG will get MeeGo, and in fact everyone else who will use MeeGo, get from THIS community?.

I thought I would have Nokia's next phone when I reached 1000 post. Its now clear to me that n900 will be my last
nokiaphone ever...

but implementing a vision such as a new operating system in a market takes more time then typing in some empty thoughts on a forum or blog.
see Linux / GNU... the 1st 10 years after Linus Torvalds had created it, hardly anyone installed it leave alone used it on a home PC, except those who worked w/ it. just because since a couple yrs even a school kid can install the buntu crap on nearly any computer doesn't mean it always was like that.
same thing goes for Maemo / MeeGo with one slight difference; Linus created the Linux kernel for the sake of fun (nearly, in fact he was tired of having to pay for licenses to do something he thought he could do, possibly even better...)
NOKIA is the largest mobile phone company world wide. there is a little bit more inertia (call it social responsibility or whatever you want) involved then just... releasing the code and make it common good.
