I've been watching the forum discussions regarding the death of Mer and the rise of Meego, the frustration with the lack of support from Nokia for the users of the N800 & N810, no OS upgrade since 2008, etc...

The N800 & N810 are still great tablets, do what they are supposed to do and they do it well, they are for the most part the best devices of their type that I have used. I dislike the typical "PDA" device for too many reasons to list. And the iPod touch and the iPhone are both nice toys but they are very limited in what they can do.

Sure a brand new N900 would be nice, but I really do not want to drop 500 or 600 on a new device just because my 800 & 810 are no longer "the latest greatest gadgets". The 400 processor is just fine for nearly everything I need or want from this device, if I need more than that I get on the desktop.

I had great hopes for the Mer project and I am sorry to see it end before a final usable product could be distributed to tide us all over while we wait for the Meego project. But it does look like the Meego project is the most feasible option for the future especially if it can be used on more than just the Nokia N series tablets.

I wish I could write code so that I could contribute, but I am just a simple end user who enjoys tweaking my devices to get the most out of them and having some fun along the way. I may convert one of my laptops to a Linux OS just to get a feel for it and learn a few things to help me squeeze a little more out of my N800 & N810.

I do hope that there will be a funtional beta version of Meego available for the N800 & N810 sometime soon otherwise I may have to start looking at the Android devices. Is there any kind of a timetable or estimate on when there may be a working version of Meego for the N800 & N810?

My only other issue is that while this site is a great resource, it is not very user friendly. It can be very difficult to follow all of the threads and some very useful information gets lost in all of the back and forth discussions.

It would be VERY helpful if there were a section organized and tabbed under headings similar to the download section where there could step by step instructions on many of the more useful tips and tricks. Clear instructions on things like cloning, booting from the memory card, etc. Perhaps a shortcut to it could be placed on the page near FAQ, Forums, etc. Then it may be a simple matter to "update" a single set of instructions rather than having multiple sets of instructions which have been revised, changed and updated on multiple threads.

I will be following the progress on Meego for the N800 & N810. I understand that probably all of you volunteer to do this on you own time and I thank you for doing it. I wish those of you working on this site and the Meego project it the very best and I only wish that I were able to help.
