New Maemo Mascot proposal.

A personified AE logo being squashed by a huge fallen Intel Chip?

Give the AE a sort of Sonic the hedgehog look.

EDIT:
To be seriose this has not changed hat much. Development was already slow due to the lack of understanding of what Maemo6 will be.

We now know it will be a instance of MeeGo. This would indicate that everything we have allready been told about Maemo 6 is going to be the same.

The big issue is that Moblin is rpm and Maemo is deb.

It is most likly wewill be moved to RPM. That will be a pity but we can live with it.

Development for multiple devices will be simplfied. Compilation should be all that is needed to move from one device to another.

That will increase the number of available apps dramatically.

The prospect of Meamo6 working on the N900 is increased as the whole MeeGO platform needs to be cross hardware capable. Therefore any hardware specific elements of Maemo6 will need to be surmountable.

And the very nature of a cross platform OS will requoire the internals to be more open. Meaning if Nokia produces crap support for certain features. MMS etc the community will have more options to create an effective hackers addition.

So over all this should be a good thing for N900 and Maemo device users (assuming they fix mine and give it back) if not for the Maemo Community as a whole.

PS I am sure I saw a pic of a N810 on the MeeGo site. And I can see this providing a new lease of life of old tablets. Maybe time to get my old N810 back out,.
