Is the N9 a true MeeGo device?
 

Looking at the builds that were put out for the N900, what actually appeared on the N9 looks so different.

Could it be described as MeeGo lite?

Or is it a case of being similar to Android, where the manufacturer can make it look like anything they want, on the surface?

no its not hence harmattan at the end of it build string

So it's more Maemo 6 then MeeGo?

I think Nokia N9 is truly maemo 6 device which supports MeeGo API.

But.. how can Maemo 6 < Maemo 5?

Re: Is the N9 a true MeeGo device?
 

its maemo 6, afaik


maemo6 < maemo5 ? Its relative, from wich point?

Re: Is the N9 a true MeeGo device?
 

Sure it looks a bit nicer, it just doesn't have the same meat as 5 does.

Wasn't the last of the maemo devices supposed to be the consumer device anyway? Granted Maemo6 did go for a ride in the meego train only to find that he had to switch terminals half way down the track, but that was the idea I have been lead to believe.

Here's a quote from Anssi Vanjoki on the Nokia N810

This is Step 3 of 5
Interestingly enough, Nokia mentioned that the N810 was the third of a “five-steps” strategy aiming at bringing such connected devices from “super-geeky” to “consumer-friendly”.

At the time I guess it was not to be taken too literally, but it actually turned out that way.

I still want one.
