To be honest, I don't know what this thread refers to. The cnet link never specified whether they mean Harmattan or "true" MeeGo, probably don't even know the difference. A lot of people in this thread don't seem to make the distinction, or even be aware that there's one.

You cite Quim, then gloss over his comment that Harmattan is not MeeGo. A little intellectual honesty, please.

EDIT: it looks like there's a semantics issue at the root of this confusion, and Nokia is not helping. My apologies for adding to the confusion.

Harmattan is not technically MeeGo-- it is "MeeGo" by branding only. Maybe that version should have quotes around it officially...

harmattan/maemo 6 is just re-branded MeeGo
its not real MeeGo that can be run on anything which is the aim with the real MeeGo distro
MeeGo will use RPM and run on both Atom and Arm
this thread was about the version of MeeGo coming after harmattan
MeeGo will get a developer version on n900 and that is not harmattan

So has Quim stated that Harmattan is not MeeGo?

Whilst Peter Schneider is stating that Harmattan is MeeGo 1?

You are talking about intellectual honesty? Really?

Anyway, I replied to a comment that Maemo 5 cannot be upgraded to meego (AKA Harmattan, AKA maemo 6) because of different packaging system. I corrected the poster to inform him that the system that adopted the meego name for marketing reasons will use the same packaging system as Maemo 5, therefore he needs to find another lame excuse. Then you butted in for no apparent reason.

No, it is not. Quoting from the article: "The first MeeGo device is targeted to be released during the second half of 2010."

Which operating system will this device run? Harmattan, or "the version of MeeGo coming after harmattan"?

FWIW, what Matan says was also my recollection of the events. I.e. that Harmattan/Maemo6 would be renamed to Meego for marketing reasons, and keep the .deb format. Releases following that would include the .rpm transition.

well thats where nokia are confusing everyone then by talking about 2 versions
the version coming to n900 is MeeGo not harmattan, it will be in MeeGo repos at the end of the month and its being compiled to run on Atom and N900.
harmattan is not going to run on Atom so thats solved which version is being worked on for N900

It's obvious that, in this case, Nokia IS contributing to FUD. Harmattan is MeeGo and yet it's not.

This is getting ugly.
