We would VERY much like to.

But we can't release a meego-harmattan version without hardware to test it on. We don't have a N9-dev kit, and the N950 Developer Kit programme seems to be closed at this time. If somebody can help us get a N9-dev kit I'm pretty sure releasing Flare Elite for the N9 would be very quick
Otherwise it may take some time considering that the N9 isn't even scheduled to be released here in the Netherlands.


We did some experimenting for a Symbian port, but there were/are some technical issues. I found a very nasty bug in the standard library, that needs to be fixed or worked-around. I just got the Symbian Anna update yesterday on my C7, I'm hoping it resolves the problem (Will test that soon).
Also Symbian^3 requires some extra work because of video memory management, and probably some nasty hacks in order to use video memory optimally.
The current S^3 devices have very little video memory (luckily Nokia increased video memory in the new Nokia 701 dramatically).

UPDATE: The bug that I experienced in Symbian seems to be resolved in Symbian Anna. So a Symbian version will probably be available in the future.
