MeeGo has a fixed release schedule. What's ready when release time rolls around ships. This isn't a "when it's done" project.

Also, the main MeeGo project isn't focused on polished products for end users. MeeGo's target users are hardware companies who pick up whatever patch levels of MeeGo components they'd like to support, add what hardware drivers they need, layer their differentiating applications and UI tweaks on top, and sell that package to end users.

Nokia's first "MeeGo" device will be running Maemo 6 with a new name and a few bits added on for MeeGo compatibility. True MeeGo has time to firm up before Nokia uses it as the basis of the software for one of their phones.
