Wow, I can't seriously believe how much like little children most of you are.

Those who are saying "Oh, PR1.2 was SO late!", obviously you have never waited for any other software before. Especially Linux Distributions.

Anyone who has ever followed the progress of a Linux Distro, especially one like Debian which Maemo is based upon, will know that when they switch toolkits or even major version upgrade of the same toolkit, it takes time to re-compile everything, and to get it all working right.

I specifically mention Debian because they are a 'release when it's ready' distribution.

Honestly, Qt 4.6 itself hasn't been out that long, we've gotten 3 updates to the N900 within 5 months. Do you even remotely realize how often most other phones get updates?

Really, the only reason to want MeeGo at all was for Qt 4.6. It's RPM based, so any of the nice apt-get stuff will not be possible, yum has slightly different commands, so you'll be learning new things. Not to mention that apt has been historically faster than yum. Apt on the N900 is really slow in comparison, so I could only imagine the pain of using Yum....

From what other posts have said, the hardware support is already done or very close to being finished for MeeGo on the N900.

There is already the Meego Image Creator under Arch Linux. I haven't gotten it to install yet because the repos are empty, the option is certainly there to play around with it!

So stop all your whining, and hope that Nokia will port over Flash10.1, which really is the only other thing I expect them to do at this point.
