great post stskeep, i gotta n900 n i have maemo5 installed wit t recent update in place. but since im a novice whn it comes to programming, not to mention that Qt, ubuntu and all those words make no sense to me. but i was wondering whether i would stick with maemo which im happy with or should i switch to meego? is it better in terms of performance, battery consumption? or would it be playing with fire as i cant do anything with the programming? thanx in advance..
