MeeGo Developer Edition for N900 released

The results of the focus, by Nokia and others, on stabilising a release of MeeGo 1.2 suitable for daily use on the N900 has had its first release candidate. Initial comments suggest it is much faster than the original MeeGo releases, and so the work invested in performance has really paid off. However, launching large applications is still slow, due to the speed of the eMMC. It's worth noting that this is still intended for advanced users, and a long way from an end-user/commercial quality release.
