Keep in mind that 1.1 will be just about usable. Release 1.2 might be a better candidate for installation:
At the same time, development of the MeeGo 1.2 release has already started. On N900 side, we will continue by integrating some interesting stuff from the latest Nokia and development repositories, including, SGX drivers, camera stack, and accelerated video decoders. We are trying to keep the 1.2 version as usable as possible, but during development, some images will work better than others, as usual.

This has nothing to do with N9. This is a PR1.3 update to Maemo 5. The update doesn't include MeeGo, it includes a newer kernel for Maemo 5 which enables the bits necessary for dual booting.
MeeGo(the open source project from Linux Foundation, with the reference Handset UX) has been coming to N900 all along and shouldn't be news to anyone at this point. There is a professional team doing the porting effort with support from Nokia side. This however, is not what will be on the N9. This won't include proprietary bits like Flash, Ovi Maps, or other Nokia specific stuff.
This MeeGo 1.1 is not going to be an all polished platform either so set your expectations on a reasonable level, but it's only getting better and if you're not comfortable waiting for the 1.2 in April you can keep up with the development with weekly built images.

I don't think we will se a Meego device before 2011. As have been said.. they have had some delays. So late januari early februari is my bet. PR1.3 will hopefully come soon.. in november.

For example check the C7.
It is shipping now and it was announced at Nokia World on 14 September.
That's exactly four weeks back now.
The N8 was only announced because of Eldars stupid (p)review.
Also you can expect a similar marketing campaign for the N9 like there was/is for the N8.
To be part of the christmas selling rush but keeping the one-month-to-release strategy, Nokia needs to announce the N9 in the week of 15 November.
Coincidence that in that week there is the MeeGo Conference, isn't it?
edit: sorry for offtopic

meego is not coming to N900.
ok, but it won't work.
so it might work, but the UI is going to suck.
well, if it doesn't suck, then i guess great, but you should've bought an andorid-based phone since everyone has one and it's not nokia.
and what's so special about meego anyway?
p.s. i will be dual booting to meego and it will be great. fanschmastic!

I would rather not see the threads merged.

I think they will release PR 1.3 before 21st October.
As Meego 1.1 release is schedule for 21st October to have it in our devices we need a dual boot solution.

All times are GMT. The time now is 20:39.
If the press is too negative, meego's impact on the market may be impaired. If I were Nokia I'd delay Meego for N900 until after the launch iof the official first meego device (N9?).
Whatever the outcome, all we'll get is Meego for N900 - NOT Nokia's UI layer that sits on top of it and gives the OS some real shine. I for one expect to use Maemo5 for some time to come.
Bring on PR1.3
