Also, you guys keep on forgetting that MeeGo is layered - ie, a hardware adaptation + MeeGo Core + stuff. So anything above MeeGo Core is portable to other devices. Which means any effort for one device helps the many.

You could even run MeeGo "DE" on one of the MeeGo Conference Ideapads for development purposes.
Thanks for the info. But Nokia doing this makes even less sense now since they are helping future competing devices based on MeeGo, both Intel and Arm.

It makes no sense, unless Nokia have some future plan with MeeGo. My guess (for the moment ) is that Nokia anticipates that an ecosystem is bound to start evolving around MeeGo no matter what, and Nokia wants to be a part of it.
