1) what does it mean to be able to "dual boot both maemo and meego" on the n900? does it mean i get to choose between maemo and everything i have on there and meego on a screen after turning on the n900? having both os with saved stuff doesnt fill the n900 storage capacities?!

2) what limitations will meego have running on n900 given that the n9 is more powerfull in terms of hardware?

Currently, the ability to dual boot meego means absolutely nothing to end users, since meego is not finished. The whole thing is completely overblown and should only interest developers and testers. This is nothing new, since you've been able to dual boot meego for a long time already. read how here: http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900

1) It means you can choose to run meego instead of maemo when you turn on the phone. Accessing media on emmc from meego is not relevant at this point, but you can access it from both operating systems.

2) N900 will not run Nokias Meego/Harmattan that the rumored N9 probably will run, so they could look and act very different. Since we don't know what Harmattan is like, we can't really say. About Meego/Harmattan: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...3&postcount=14
