Pretty much the only thing good about Meego (excluding that it's designed more to be like a smartphone OS) is that will run on a multitude of devices like Android which means more users and as a result more apps from independent developers, porters, and businesses.

More importantly for N900 users is it QT compatibility, which means if Nokia doesn't bring Meego to the N900 then we will still be able to use the apps written in qt for meego devices. So for example, Google does not have apps for maemo because of its smaller userbase. But with meego and qt google will likely create an app that can run on meego and any qt compatible app (for example, symbian also).
