I was burned pretty badly over Mer too, don't forget. I really wanted Mer on my N810 to be functional.

Yes there were reasons, no I don't blame the people involved, but none of that matters. What matters is that we did not get our OS that we were so hopeful for.

So yes.. I understand your comment.

That is also why I am following MeeGo very closely, and so far I've been impressed. I can actually boot this into a full graphical UI and launch apps! It certainly is by no means ready to do anything beyond look "cute" (sort of.. can't say I'm impressed with the UI, actually.) but it looks promising.

However, you'll notice that I have stated several times that I am not comfortable with the fact MeeGo has to be retrieved from Nokia.com and not Meego.com. I have said that several times. Stskeeps has responded to that several times.. and again we're at a wait and see game.

But for now.. why would I make the same mistake as Nokia? Why would I ignore the device that is currently sitting in my hands to look at something that isn't even beyond the alpha stage yet?
