This Meego interface looks like garbage.

I know it's still under heavy development, but it seems the design concepts are once again slipping back towards unusable eye-candy to attract iPhone fanboys.

Why Nokia? Why?

Maemo is lightweight, attractive and customizable, unbelievably functional.. Throwing it away just _makes no sense_.
Exactly my idea.

If Nokintel's strategy was to impress and to attract the attention of potential IOS4 or Android 2.2 buyers in order to have them postpone their summer phone.. er no, pocket computer purchase and wait for Meego they would have better let ME showcase the Maemo 5 interface under the nominator MeeGo 1.x.
Because imo that crowed has never seen Maemo in action. On the other hand crap like this Meego 1.1 must look quiet familiar to them and provide them with the satisfaction of having the cooler device in their pocket.

If Nokintel's strategy was to mislead the competition till the near final release of the real MeeGo (further ergo-tuned Maemo interface) and drop a real revolutionary bomb they are well in track.

If they like to inspire their current fan base of Maemo users and devs.. Sad indeed.

Really hoping there will be multiple interfaces available: Generic dumbed down smartphone mode (what we see now) and pro interface - further improvement of Maemo 5 including command prompt and smart interface designs (hell no fennec standard interface)
