Venemo, questions about MeeGo fit much better in meego.com

Reggie, I can't predict the future. But if you are worried about the email client then have a look to the foundations Qt offers for it: the Messaging library that is part of Qt Mobility and the Qt Messaging Framework (QMF). They are being developed (openly, by the way) even before the N900 sales start.

About the UI (now called MeeGo Touch Framework) it had a first code drop in the Maemo Summit also before the N900 sales start and is developed openly in Gitorious since the MeeGo launch in February.

I'm not saying anything with these dates, only stressing that even if the MeeGo Handset UX is going public this month, this doesn't mean that the serious work is starting now.

But well, as usual the time of the truth is when new devices are launched (first solid judgement) and when they start selling (the real truth). Before announcements you can judge as well, but as you know you are in the terrain of speculation. Which is a ground I tend to avoid.
