Yay, I get to use my favorite figure of speech:

"It is what it is".

Anyway, since Meego doesn't exactly "exist" in a usable sense yet, the ability to run Meego apps with PR1.2 doesn't seem to be of much consequence.

I'm happy with my N900 and I'll continue to be a user for a couple of months to come, since my search for a good Android 2.1 equipped QWERTY slider with a hires screen came up empty. I am almost convinced however, that the N900 will never see a vast array of high quality apps. It is what it is - meaning you get what you see today. Don't expect the coming months to change anything.

I fully understand how almost no one wants to program for the N900 now, since we are all but left in the dark about the future. Will N900 Qt-apps be easily transferable to Meego by a simple recompile? Will the Meego GUI allow for the same kind of usability logic as present N900 apps? If I make something for the N900 today, will it be easier to just redesign almost the whole thing, if I want it to run on Meego.

Many say portability will be easy, but developers are not convinced and my guess is you'll see virtually no wow-factor apps for the N900 in the future, even though the hardware potential is huge.

If you're convinced that the N900 is not a dead end for developers, then how do you explain the lack of apps on a platform that should be a wet dream-come-true for all geek(ish) programmers?
