MeeGo, when it gains so many partners and reimplemented in so many different ways, will look and feel quite different than Maemo.
I hope it feels at least as good compared to Maemo (both the deliverables and the community).

Edit: wait, did he OP mean that the release of MeeGo is still far away and the partnerships are quite far fetched that by the time it all pans out, iPhone (and the rest of humanity) will be no more?
