In doing so though, you'd be giving up the ability to install and use any applications that require DRM. Indications are that the Ovi Store will no longer be a viable source of software for you, and proprietary Nokia applications such as Ovi Maps will likely be off-limits also.

Plus, this trip is one way. Once you switch your Harmattan device into "developer mode" to install MeeGo.com Meego, there's no way of switching back into closed, proprietary software-loving, DRM mode.
Well are u saying thats BAD :-D

Personally I dont mind if DRM apps will not work.

Real Linux users doesnt want to use that kind of crap anyway.

But I guess many here is comming from a world full of garbage apps and closed ****. Hint: WINDOWS!
