I'd rather say it is sad that MeeGo isn't tried and matured on current hardware - here I'm specifically talking about the N900 and the Booklet 3G.

Use the N900 as nusery for the development of a more mature handset MeeGo - the resulat is avoiding the childrens decease that is is bound to be on the first device - having them on the N900 instead of the N9 should be preferable.

Also the Booklet 3G as it is today is drained by the W7 it is preloaded with. Introducing a Booklet 3G version running MeeGo with Netbook would probable result in a much faster experience (This require a stable GMA500 support from Intel) and it should be possible to maintain the battery time (that will be one of the main factors anyway - when Netbook and Webpad manufactorers in the future has to choose a preloaded OS for their creations - otherwise they'll just go for a walk with the Android - not mr. Data).

Many regards
