No. (Stop the booing!) Buy something like the Viliv N5. That way you're not locked into MeeGo or ARM-based Linux. If MeeGo is still developed, you can always install MeeGo on it. If not you can put any OS that runs on x86 on it, plus it's already got very good Linux compatibility in terms of drivers and settings available to make the hardware work.
