I'm not sure what's the status of mail, instant messaging, etc, but I would not be surprised if that was also more rudimentary than Maemo's at this point. Yes, at some point, when Maemo turns old and grey, MeeGo will be the thing to turn to (with some components borrowed from commercial flavors), it's just that this hop will NOT be PR1.2 to MeeGo 1.1 for most users.
Doesn't sound like that's anything official. No Skype, Maps, Flash... sounds like a hobbyist OS. I already run Haiku on one machine. Having a phone/internet tablet/pocket computer/jesus device that can't use the aforementioned items set for exclusion is not a complete user experience.

So it's either continued lack of official support in Maemo or a total lack of official apps in MeeGo-Harmattan.

That's utter ********.
