Ok, I haven't done very deep research about MeeGo development. But from what I've seen, a consumer handset release in 2011 pretty much needs to be based on the upcoming 1.2 branch (due in April. Since the development cycle is 6 months, a handset based on 1.3 would have made it "a 2012 event".)

So I have 2 basic questions, that I hope some of the more directly involved people might be able to answer.

1. Was 1.2 (including the seemingly top-secret Nokia handset UX) on track to be production-ready on time?
2. Is the overall user experience of 1.2+handset UX in its current state competitive with iOS 4 or Android 2.x?
