Nokia's there (as witnessed by the work going into MeeGo and especially MeeGo on N900) but we figured it'd be a priority to 1) have audio into the kernel at all and 2) making phonecalls (which we got done in the last minute before feature freeze), so well, some good things remain for 1.2.

I guess it's more obvious when you look at what has been needed to be done to get where we're at at the moment, but admittedly, platform has areas it's lacking at the moment.

We've set ourselves up for running MeeGo on N900 project for a long time, so we've had to take the long way of upstreaming kernel drivers, doing things the right way instead of with duct tape.

That 1.1 isn't where I (and probably others) hoped it would be is one thing but I see a lot of work being poured into MeeGo 1.1 and even more will go into 1.2.
