Sigh. No. Maemo is Maemo and MeeGo is MeeGo. MeeGo 1.1 has no Maemo version equivalent nor does Maemo 6 have a MeeGo version equivalent (except for the provisional, non-numerical, marketing inspired MeeGo-Harmattan). There are actually more important differences both philosophically and under the hood, but let's not digress.

However, what I read your posts to be is that the first Nokia device out this year will run Maemo 6. for the sake of simplicity let us call it N9. Then next year Nokia will release N10 which will run Meego. At that point N9 owners will be able to update the operating system from Maemo 6 to Meego. Is that correct? And if that is what you are saying can we really trust Nokia that you will indeed be able to update the operating system and not have to buy N10 to get the new operating system?
Hey hey hey. I am no Nokia spokesperson or manager nor do I know their plans other than what Nokia chose to tell one way or the other. Formally, I'm just a dude like any of you whom (well, at least some of ) you elected to the Community Council to facilitate between Nokia and the Community. That's what I'm trying to do here - disseminate information to minimize FUD (in other words, we get to hear the bad news first, you get to throw rotten tomatoes at us, which we then pass on to Nokia and don't even get paid for it ).

With all that said, no plans on the upgrade path of the N9 have been revealed, and, in fact, that is the very question I presented as the real question a few messages back.
