Thanks. Didn't see your edit.

Call me odd, but I think they're just situating themselves to be a handheld/tablet distro that can accept a KDE/Gnome type of UI replacement scheme (think HTC Sense UI on top or/really replacing Android's UI) and go from there. If that's the case, that'll work just fine, will limit the fragmentation somewhat...

Regardless. I'll have to resort to patience and see how this will all play out. I don't think MeeGo will hit the gate running... Android didn't, WebOS didn't... Moblin didn't, Maemo didn't.

But a slow start might prove to be what they need to do for some hardware to fall right into place; namely CPU/GPU refinements (no telling what that really means... just that current hardware is too even across the board now).

Just treat as speculation. Nothing I said above it probably even close to the truth. Just thinking aloud.
