"MeeGo becomes an open-source, mobile operating system project. MeeGo will place increased emphasis on longer-term market exploration of next-generation devices"

Next-Gen as in Midrange? (as you guys are saying)
Next-generation could also mean that MeeGo will ship in the future on high end, aka when it's ready. MeeGo was never intended to run the Mid range of models.

If this MeeGo will launch before 2012 and will be any good, maybe there's hope after all (whatabout intel, AMD?)

I ask this to every MAEMO user, have you ever been happy with a tablet/phone wich software was considered a project in the first place?
