  3. MeeGo isn't for end-users or consumers (yet)
  4. It doesn't do anything for Maemo at all

Is system wide portrait mode coming in PR 1.3, nobody knows...
I'll bet you £100 that system wide portrait mode is not coming in PR 1.3. It's not the OS - that already supports it - it's the apps. And all the third party apps have been designed for 800x480. Sure, some support rotation, but not all.

... so stop creating threads that portrait mode is coming to n900 (through meego). Unofficially, its already available to you via nitdroid and meego.
Indeed.
