So what deadline has moved? What vague product definition? Are you talking about the MeeGo project or Nokia?

I'm sure it is. Only HTC doesn't say its a platform when a software deadline rolls around. They ship software that works on their phone.
What software deadlines does HTC have? It's Google who ships Android, and they don't seem to have public deadlines. HTC makes products with it and ships when they're ready. MeeGo project ships MeeGo on a fixed release schedule, manufacturers make products with / on top of it and ship them when they're ready.

In that case, I'll be throwing my N900 in the garbage and buying an Android phone like all the rest of the market has. Silly me for thinking something of quality was going to come from this Nokia + Intel effort.
How do you know something of quality isn't going to come if you haven't seen any MeeGo products yet?

Silly me, but I thought that is the sort of thing the N900 hardware adaption team, with Nokia's blessing, would broach.

You know what is really funny here is Nokia's attitude toward the N900 user base. Instead of looking at it as a huge, free testing force, they want to wash their hands of it. Have you noticed how Redhat uses Fedora ? That should be your model, not washing your hands of it. Guess what the quality of Meego 1.6 on your next device is going to be if you don't get it properly tested ????
Again you're somehow thinking it's only Nokia that's dealing with MeeGo and the Handset UX, it's not. The reference applications are done by Intel for example. And you keep harping about wanting to test it and do bugfixing but in the next sentence complain how you don't want to use such unfinished software?
