As for portin is concerned, I obviously didn't realise that the poll doesn't show the complete sentence, but it was meant to ask whether you would pay to get Meego and porting other apps such as Ovi Maps on the N900. Unfortunately polls can't be edited so I couldn't correct it.

As for Meego availability, I have no doubt that the Meego kernel would be available on N900, but the apps are a different matter altogether. Also, Nokia won't release the source code of its drivers, though we may be able to get the binaries to link against. So while a fully open source system would be great, it still remains a pipe dream. To be fair, that was the reason for this thread to start with... if Nokia won't give us things like Ovi Maps, Flash 10.1 etc. because of commercial reasons, what set of viable commercial reasons can we produce for Nokia to give us those things, besides threatening to move, which we have done on numerous occasions.
