I care. The only thing worse than no information, is misinformation.

I'm wondering with the minimum specs, does that rule out the N900? Considering the N900 has 256MB of physical RAM? It shouldn't right? JW..
and the rootfs would be on memory card *external*
in other words, community's effort.. not official.. and will take a LONG time

Arm V7 or x86 processors

Tell me, how can that be construed as anything other than claims of these processors being x86? It shoddily written and it's incorrect on a technical level.

OS aside, does the 512MB RAM spec mean that QT apps designed for MeeGo may not be able to run, or will run not as well on an N900 or a Symbian device that has less RAM available?

Like I said, it's shoddily written.
If the author wanted to convey "ARM v7 processors" as including Snapdragon/A4/OMAP, he should have written it that way, not in one that is indicative of a category, being x86, and the objects within it, being Snapdragon/A4/OMAP.
"600MHz+ x86-based or ARM-based processors (including Snapdragon, A4, OMAP and ST U8500)".

Either you misread it or your English comprehension needs a little extra work. Either way, move on. The sun is shining outside. This absurd kicking of a dead horse will not make you any happier.

It is conceivable that an app may be written that needs more of the remaining memory than is available, but it would have to be pretty big.
In which case we get into memory swapping, which means it will still run. but perform poorly.
