That's fine when you are cooking but are you applying that to maemo & meego or maybe customer satisfaction?
Let's see:
Maemo is stable and operating quite well.
Harmattan is maemo 6?
Maemo has been renamed to meego "because it's cool"
Meego ux reference handset ui is different from harmattan ui?
Does the meego image (v1 no ui) share the same code & versions of software as maemo?
If harmattan is meego then why does the current release of meego for handsets seem so immature?
If maemo/harmattan/meego are indeed the same then meego in its current state is a serious regression!
If maemo/harmattan/meego are indeed the same then I would have expected a fully-working image that would have changed and adapted over time.
Red Hat can do it - e.g. Red Hat Enterprise & fedora so it is not a "linux" problem - it's a management problem at Nokia.
I'm sorry but I smell marketing bullsh**!
As far as I understood things - harmattan was being developed as maemo 6, Intel were working on meego, at some point Nokia decided to join meego and announced meego will become/replace maemo and shared very similar structure. Meego has it's own reference handset ui and Nokia has it's own separate handset ui (harmattan).
It's a pity things are like this I thought Nokia have great hardware and a great platform to compete in today's market - instead they seem to be making "plans for the future" and everyone else is continuing to improve their own mobile OS and add features.
Will my next phone be Nokia?
I'm going to wait and see.
I don't care who makes my next device - I'm not loyal to any company.
I'm a PC and I don't give a f***
*PC = Pi**ed-off Customer
