Sigh. MeeGo is on a fixed schedule, they will make a release every 6 months, whatever they have at that point is 1.1. The late October builds cannot be late for October.
Whats this then? I don't understand....
1.1.0.0 2010-10-21--2010-10-27 GA, RTW: MeeGo 1.1 Release for Core, Netbooks, Handsets, ... (General availability, release to web)
Is it wrong to assume that its is a self sufficient OS at this stage similar to Maemo on its release and if not why not?

It's just a formal release. Every six months people try to stabilize the package versions and try to make a fairly complete (=minimally broken 
) release which is hopefully less prone to cause explosive nosebleed on first contact with non-developers. Just as the terminal-mode 1.0 release. It was a release, it was installable, it was 1.0, but it was not really what the end users want.
It is wrong. It will never be similar to Maemo, for better or worse. MeeGo as such doesn't have any 3rd party commercial components which are sort-of expected in a productized release. So Flash, Skype, Ovi Maps, Ovi Store, etc, are NOT part of MeeGo. They will of course be present/shipped in the products BASED on MeeGo, but that is not what this 1.1 release is about.

If it can run ports of mc, nmap, claws email, ssh, nmap, gps recorder,
openoffice or equivalents and a few other essentials
then it will be worth see-trials.

Any Maemo application dose not work with Meego?
No Games?
No Application/Game Partner?

Oh I remember this crappy blog and his authors who lie and publish bogus info. Couple of weeks ago this website published an article that N900 is getting update to Maemo 6 or wahtever it was with some screenshots from OS2008 and photoshopped slides from Maemo 2009 conference so I wont take any info written there seriously...

You could compare raw MeeGo to the open part of Android, lacking the Google apps and without permission to access the Android market.
Open MeeGo on the N900 won't be able to provide DRM, too.

seriously whats all the hype with meego? Yeah its a new OS so what's the big deal? Up till now I don't really see anything great yet with it. Well this is what i know as of the moment. Meego is QT based OS like symbian4. It runs only QT apps and maemo is like symbian3. It can run gtk and QT where symbian3 runs c++ and QT apps. So why crave for meego now? Anybody can enlighten me? Well don't tell me it has better UI, more battery/memory efficient or would get better support cause seriously... You haven't seen final nokia meego UI yet and still not on the age to be judged by its performance. Also n900 supports also QT so it would also run meego apps. Also last is don't tell me it has multitouch support or better screen cause it's the hardware already and not software.
