Dont worry, be happy!
Exactly. Not much has changed on the floor plan regarding whether the N900 will be updated to another OS. What's more important is the cross-compatibility of apps. Thus regardless of the OS you run, as long as you can take a QT app developed on the N900 and run it on a Meego device, and likewise take a Qt app developed on a Meego device and run it on the N900, then we're good.

Interestingly, I don't know how Intel or Nokia plans on supporting Meego OS wise across any device. With their proclaimed plans for the Meego OS it seems that the OS will be running on different platforms with many different configurations (touch screen, no touch screen, keyboard, no keyboard, bluetooth, no bluetooth, etc..)

That should make supporting Meego... rather interesting from a bugfix perspective. Especially as you factor in numerous hardware possibilities. Even companies like Microsoft have trouble with that.

"Meamo!" sounds like what Zorro would say to catherine zeta jones... after she slaps him for looking at her dirtily...
