And for N900. I donīt know. If you have read any posts here especially threads where qgil explains why making stuff open source is not free I would guess that nothing changes. Things go on as they have. We as hobbyist keep on fooling around with our little toys etc. Meego will be released.

Only thing what Iīm worried alot is Qt.
I hate to say this but QT will only exsist as a hobbiest dream that will not gain momentum now the sky is full of Microsoft merger with Nokia.

I had a strong feeling this is the biggest news probably ever to come out from Nokia but alas what will come of it will take a while to see yet.

What i am also wondering is what direction can this forum take with Maemo dead and buried and Meego to follow the same fate, we are left with WM7 on the face of it but Nokia will obviously make clear the road they will take from here very soon.
Qgil is a puppet and he got himself really dangled didnt he !.

Many people are damming this move as is clear to see on here but i tell you it is really exciting for me as a pessimist i truly believe in reality is the best move Nokia has ever made and will certainly in time (not too long i hope) bring them out of the shallows back to the limelight IF they go the direction i think they will.

Now i am so glad i stuck with my N900's as i have a feeling this is going to be very big indeed.
