The point of Meego DE for the N900 is to provide a way for early-adopting developers to start programming apps that will eventually run on Intel's Meego phones.
If you think Intel is the only contribute for Meego your really is out of line.

Meego is NOT only Intel! It maybe true that Nokia doesn't invest what was expected before february but you are wrong if you think Intel is behind N900DE they probadly unintrested in that codebase.

Meego is a community project with some of free contributers and also alot of companies involved not only Intel.

And the team behind N900 is "Hobbyists", engineers inside Nokia and some Hardware adoption engineers outside Nokia! None of them is working on Intel AFAIK!

But one is correct N900 is not hipriority for the "payed engineers" for obviours reasons.

We are all free to contribute dont expect Intel or even other companys to do it. The device is discontinued but its upto the community too decide if we want Meego progress on N900!

Oh I forgot some of the new UI is infact based on Meego-ux(Intel) but still Meego-ux(was closed now open) is a rework of qt-compont(Nokia was open now closed in January).

Qt-components still closed, dont know why this still is the case I hoped it should opensource it at the conference but it seems not :@
