Actually, judging from Stskeeps' comments on the state of MeeGo on the N900 everything seems to be a bit further ahead than I realised.

I'm actually looking forward to the 1.2 release in April(?) now.

What I'm hoping to get out of MeeGo personally is a "purer linux" than maemo. E.g. proper bluetooth support for keyboards & mice and the ability to cross compile linux apps for the n900 unlike android.

Android is a great linux-based mobile platform but looks so "alien". E.g. no standard libraries mean cross-compiling linux software is almost impossible and means a re-write/re-implementation of existing linux apps. Of course there is that "paranoia" of how much information Google are taking from you too!

I think the next release of MeeGo is going to be the most important release so far - there's a lot to prove.
