This is the same people that promised us n900 August of last year. We ended up getting it in December if memory serves me right...

I don't know the problem, but smells of logistics (the N900s at the Summit which was earlt October had release level hardware and just one week older firmware than the one that got released in the end).

Anyway the way i look at it is this. If Android 3.0 comes out before Meego or what ever they decide to call it it then, then Meego will not stand a chance. They better provide something appealing or else Nokia and Intel are done

FWIW MeeGo as such is already out. Just as 1.1 will be. Just as Android 3.0 will be. People are not interested in the software release as a general concept, but usable firmwares that run their devices, and the two are different topics. Just as FroYo was released two and half months ago and still represents just a minuscule percentage of Android devices sold, so will 3.0 be interesting only if you look far into 2011.
