It's functional and works, albeit a little disjointed in uniformity (then again, so are many applications written for maemo).

as for general usage, i for one can say categorically, I've missed more calls due to the sh*tty screen lock bug in Maemo than I have with Meego, so arguing for stability against maemo 1.0 or 1.1 could possibly bring up a LOT of issues that we, as users have forgotten about (blocked from our minds?) following on from the subsequent releases of pr1.2 and pr 1.3.

Hell I even tried some of the SHR builds and found aspects of that OS/UI better than pr1.1!

don't get me wrong here though. i love maemo, however I'm happy to commit time and my n900 to the Meego project if only to identify and file bugs for the dev team.
i can say so far that every bug I've filed has been clearly investigated and actioned, and that at least, breeds confidence that the team is atually working to address common use case issues whilst still working on the core OS.

the great thing about the N900 is even if MeegoCE ends up gooing nowhere, i can always flash it back to maemo
There you go you got all the answers in your post so why when people come on and tell you that meego is just not making the grade you have a go at them then come on here with a post of your very own and point out exactly what i said in my post !!!.

If you cannot listen to critisism then you should not be involved in the project full stop.

I will repeat your words ok.........

"you're certainly correct in that Meego on N900 as it stands is probably more of a dev OS than a user one"

Get meego to a usable and functionable os and NOT a dev's os.

"i've stated previously, comments similar to one of your earlier posts, that the UI is a major key to attracting a larger user base."

The ui is crap and you very well know it !!!.

The development has just NOT made meego usable from a non dev's point of view and untill it is you will NEVER attract people outside of development (general users).

Meego IS slow and non usable with far too many components missing and the very reasons are within your own post.

When you lot move this to a use"able" os that can take over Maemo will be the day it will be popular.

It is now 1st SEPTEMBER 2011 please note that ok.
