Note that it's in testing by -manufacturers- but it is not at all available to the larger Android community. Whereas with MeeGo, the intention is that the bleeding edge of MeeGo will always be available to the public and manufacturers at the same time. Certainly, that's where I hope we are going with this.

That's one reason I will stick with MeeGo and not Android.

We had better hope so. This is really boring and uninspired. If anything, it is what Symbian^4 could look like and get away with. All the talk about Maemo being a chance to do something beyond phones - there's nothing of that in today's release.

Not quite liking the fact that you can supposedly switch between the card switcher and grid switcher in Harmattan either. The advanced option should be the default, or even the only one, because even novices will benefit from it when they "get it". We're not talking vi level learning curves here.

This UI reeks of MeeGo finally becoming so big that the beancounters have started pushing it to a more mainstream mode of operation. But that will fail, because

a) Nokia doesn't need two Symbians

b) the N9 is at this point even more important as an advertising exercise than as a device, and it needs to make a big splash or Nokia's credibility is lost. Matching everyone else two years later is not enough. It needs to go where no one else will go, because Nokia is the only one that can tell all the people who can't handle it to buy Symbian instead.

c) the reference UI will probably be less advanced than the coming Android UI update.

meego, who cares about it?

One other thing came to mind: it better have widgets, or else I'm just going to stick with Maemo5.

It already IS 'mid-2010' - June 30th. And Android 2.2 is just trickling out. So I'm gonna stick my neck out and predict the rumors were wrong.

Like Symbian, MeeGo-Harmattan will support Nokia Web Runtime (WRT), which should bring loads of widgets. While I have not yet tried the plug-in for Aptana Studio, it appears to be fairly slick.

so true...

I believe the look of the UI can be improved
... but I really miss the genius concept of Harmattan: having desktop filled with “operational” widgets (widgets which allows you to have almost full functionality of a application right on a screen without going into app itself) it was something that was making the UI ultra functional

I find it funny the contrast between Engadget's commenters (they love it!) and TMO...Mainstream.

Oh and by the way are there any screenshots of the email application?

I remember what Canola main dev said once:

"We are not the users."

... does anybody know if Harmattan UI will be implemented in Nokia version of MeeGo ???
Yes, it will. At least have widgets in home screens..
