SHORT: mer ported to any HTC phones?
how is the development to port it to the Touch Pro going?

LONG:
I want a desktop OS but tailored to a mobile unit & phone functionality.
So mer is very appealing to me.
I want this OS become composed to be installed on other devices, not limited to Nokia.

What I had in mind:
Friend has HTC Touch Pro and is always by WinMo.
He wants to sell it when his contract finishes, and gave me a good price.
I want an N900 (great hardware+software x open) but this is also a good substitute, and much more cheaper. I place it on par with N97 (which is expensive) with the differences being in OS, form factor and 32GB internal storage of N97.

So the TP + Mer would be great alternative to getting the N900; not as good but much more cheaper. Btw I live in Australia, so we dont get all tech as fast as other countries, eg iPhone came here about +1 year after launch in USA.

So how is MER coming along?
Has it made significant imrovements to port on TP?
How stable is it?
Convenient on 480x640 screen? etc

I saw the Dev page and it hasn't been updated in 2months. http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer/Status

I didnt see any mer ROM on xda-devs, only Android. But since the processor in the TP is not so powerful, I don't think android would be responsive enough. Even if it did, I'm not really a fan.
