One issue is that the MeeGo name is very overloaded.

There's the upcoming MeeGo dsitribution, which device makers can use as base for operating system on their devices.

There's the MeeGo API, which app developers can develop for and their apps will run on everything MeeGo branded.

We know that Maemo 6/Harmattan will be a hybrid between Maemo and MeeGo dsitribution, and will fully support the MeeGo API, and indeed will be branded and sold as MeeGo.

We know that through PR1.2 Maemo 5 will get the same version of QT as MeeGo, and thus Maemo 5 PR 1.2 will also probablyh provide the MeeGo API for app developers, and could be called MeeGo if same criteria as for Harmattan are used..

So in conclusion, due to "MeeGo" meaning many things, even if Anssi had originally said something very specific, the journalists probably failed to pick up and comprehend the nuances, and just simplified it to "N900 with MeeGo", which in the end tells us nothing new that we already did not know.
