I'm a bit unhappy with Nokia's direction myself (but oh well). The only reason why I even bought an N900 was I was tired of carrying two devices (a dumbphone and my n800) and I wanted the capabilities of a pocketable mobile computer since I find it immensely useful as a student. Right now it has the software, but I have to deal with the reduced screen size.

Though after I graduate I doubt I'll have to carry around a mobile computer everyday so I'm moving onto a three device solution.

Smartphone (Android...or Meego if anyone can put out a good one), large Tablet (Meego or Android), Desktop (Linux)

I'm extremely skeptical of Nokia's prospects in creating a platform that can compete with Android, Apple, Microsoft, etc.. The planned setup is great so far (QT compatibility across devices, blah blah) but I think Android is evolving (or rather.. is it upgrading for robots?) too quickly in too many areas (see Google TV and car integration) that it'll snuff out Meego before it has the chance to get enough hardware makers on board.

"Meamo!" sounds like what Zorro would say to catherine zeta jones... after she slaps him for looking at her dirtily...
