I now its not much more and its not anything particularly new but MeeGo is looking very nice.

Cant wait to see what sort of front end Nokia paste on

I'd go for a moorestown intel phone if the screen size was between 4-5 inches. That would be nice. Of course i'd have to take my charger with me but I can live with that.

maemo5 is more beautiful ithink

heres a 16 minute video

the AAVa device is sexy would love to see them mass produce it for consumers, 1.5 Ghz CPU, yes please sir

Unfortunately they aren't in business of making products for consumers. Would be nice, if somebody bought rights for their design.

yea i know that is what saddens me b/c there designs are cool, the company was only founded in 2009 so they are still very young and finding there feet but with Intel backing them they could end up being to Intel what HTC have become to Google.

That video makes me both angry and sad. Maemo is such an outstanding interface...

This Meego interface looks like garbage.

I know it's still under heavy development, but it seems the design concepts are once again slipping back towards unusable eye-candy to attract iPhone fanboys.

Why Nokia? Why?

Maemo is lightweight, attractive and customizable, unbelievably functional.. Throwing it away just _makes no sense_.

Because Nokia is driving forward into the new smartphone space with this, and if they're going to steal any market share it'll be from Android and the iPhone. Familiarity is a plus.

It sucks for us, sure, but...

We can always make our own. People are modifying hildon-home now on Maemo, no reason the existing MeeGo handset UI (or tablet UI) can't be made to work (better.) You won't see it on phones directly, but then I don't expect the existing Maemo community would stick with the defaults

Exactly my idea.

If Nokintel's strategy was to impress and to attract the attention of potential IOS4 or Android 2.2 buyers in order to have them postpone their summer phone.. er no, pocket computer purchase and wait for Meego they would have better let ME showcase the Maemo 5 interface under the nominator MeeGo 1.x.
Because imo that crowed has never seen Maemo in action. On the other hand crap like this Meego 1.1 must look quiet familiar to them and provide them with the satisfaction of having the cooler device in their pocket.

If Nokintel's strategy was to mislead the competition till the near final release of the real MeeGo (further ergo-tuned Maemo interface) and drop a real revolutionary bomb they are well in track.

If they like to inspire their current fan base of Maemo users and devs.. Sad indeed.

Really hoping there will be multiple interfaces available: Generic dumbed down smartphone mode (what we see now) and pro interface - further improvement of Maemo 5 including command prompt and smart interface designs (hell no fennec standard interface)

I'm still quite confident that we will see something like the leaked pictures year ago about harmattan. Eldar at least said that the UI on N9 is very different to what we have seen from vanilla MeeGo.

I sure hope so because i'm not happy at all about the handset UX.
