The MeeGo handset images from meego.com work well for platform and application developers wishing to get in early, and target now for the devices which are anticipated this year.

The handsets that will eventually be released, based on MeeGo will probably be extremely different UXs to those you've already seen screenshots of from the meego.com handset UX. The "desktop" UX is likely to be radically different for each manufacturer, Nokia included. The important parts of the platform are the underlying APIs and systems and Qt. So we can write one and deploy on _any_ MeeGo device.

What I invisage is a Nokia handset this year, running _their_ MeeGo and maybe other handsets running the vendors MeeGo. The stock apps and current handset UX are cool if you want to remove any kind of vendor branding and support a fully open platform. But that is unlikely to be where normal users will be, but we can still develop OSS that runs on anything, thanks to the common platform APIs and Qt.
