Which operating system will this device run? Harmattan, or "the version of MeeGo coming after harmattan"?
the first meego device targeted to be released during the second half of 2010 won't run harmattan afaik. that also answers the question, if the n900 is getting meego (harmattan).

okay, sorry. misread your message. I read it like you'd said Quim had commented that Harmattan was not MeeGo. Hence my confusion.

Mistaken, as you've shown. cheers.

!= means the opposite of "equals". Harmattan really isn't MeeGo. But then again the APIs is should be close enough to call it an "instance of MeeGo" or something. The motivation of _calling_ Harmattan MeeGo was to get marketing behind one brand.

Welll... he did say that (=! should have been !=, but it means not equal either way), which is the problem. But again, this appears to be a technical interpretation vs a marketing interpretation.

This debacle is making me nuts.

This is getting ugly.

But, wait, you have not reached the bottom of it, Intel calls Moblin 2.2 MeeGo just as Nokia calls Maemo 6 MeeGo, bringing the number of identically named, but technically different MeeGo's we're talking about to three. We have a Marklar on our hands

Cripes.

Looks to me like MeeGo needs additional qualifiers to clear this up.

MeeGo Netbook 1.0. MeeGo Mobile Computer 1.1. MeeGo WTF Plus.

You forgot all the MeeGo UXs (netbook vs handheld) and all the different vendor productised MeeGos. For the majority of people UI = OS and they will be very confused.

I knew I thanked that for a reason.

Looks like we found you a platform, Mr. Council Candidate.

It was said that Harmattan will be Debian based, so here's how I interpret that:

Harmattan isn't step 5 of 5. It's step 4.5 of 5. Or, maybe, it's step 5 of 6. Oh, I don't know. I think my hair is turning blonde.

But until someone puts a MeeGo version number on Harmattan, the confusion won't stop, so I'll do it:

Harmattan == MeeGo .8

And it shall be written, that no matter how brief, that MeeGo will also be Debian based. And it shall be the Über handheld/netbookthingy GNU/Linux 'cause it will also support GTK. And throughout the land, everyone will have a pony and will live happily ever after.

My work here is done.
