I got the impression that MeeGo doesn't actualy exist yet as a completed product, it is early days, even the LG (annouced as the first Meego product) will not be a true implementation of MeeGo, in the same way that Meamo 6 will not be a true implementation of Meego................I think that we are a long way off from there actually being a true MeeGo device about, probably minimum of a year???

If this is the case, why is it so important for the N900 to get it, phones are generally changed quite frequently, and it may be considered that the N900 is 'out of date' when the true MeeGo is released. I suspect that Nokia haven't committed to whether there will be an implementation of MeeGo on the N900 as it isn't really known when this new OS will actually be released
