That additional software will need to be recompiled for the NITs CPUs tho, right? So it's not like it is available now, but can be made available for NITs quite a bit easier than what it takes now, correct?

If I need a fast (but fully Google-compatible) browser, broad support of IM and SIP/Skype (voice-chats only) are there any advantages of moving to Mer now? In 6 months? In a year?
