Compared to OpenMoko, Maemo5 is the Rock of Gibraltar. That and the hardware is infinitely better. For me, cellular data was the clincher for "the ultimate device." Without that, such devices are just bigger PDAs to me.

I certainly can't be the only one who thought that.

As for MeeGo, it is simply pushing closer to the ideal of having mobile devices with as little closed as possible. I'd love to have a 100% open stack (RMS too!) but I don't see that happening.
