Yes, I'm going to still develop on Maemo. Why? Because any work I'll do *will* work for MeeGo. There's a ton of FUD going around that will say otherwise and it's already to the point of being ridiculous.

They announce an OS without a device. If they support N900 they would have said. It would have been a boost for sales.

No dreams.

Ok, you'll do it!
But a great software house (Office, Sygic) will do it also? I don't think so.
I suppose that will deal multitouch software for new device.

There are few N900 around. The game is not worth the effort. My two cent.

So current Maemo 5 non-QT binaries are forward compatible with Harmattan and Meego (I separate the two because Harmattan is Meego compatible even though they're calling it Meego)? If so then I am relieved thanks.

That wasn't what mooninite said - he said that anything he develops will work on both. Current non-Qt apps is questionable - GTK+ will still be supported on MeeGo, but not necessarily with the Hildon extensions. That would seem to be (mostly) going to be up to the (ex-)Moblin developers, as GTK+ support appears to fall under their remit.

The same Linux environment will exist. The same libraries (most likely more recent versions) will be available as well. Maemo devices and MeeGo devices will be Linux through and through. This isn't a change like going from Maemo to Android, which is still Linux but has a Java VM instead of libc.

It won't be perfect though, I'm not saying that. Some programs that add functionality to Nokia closed-source programs and libraries won't be available in MeeGo - such as the phone and contact apps. This is to be expected as the front-end apps will change up a bit. Again though, the underlying environment will remain semantically the same. Don't get caught up in the RPM vs. Deb bike-shedding either.

Yes, I meant my projects, but my projects won't be the only ones who continue to work under MeeGo. How do you guys think Evince, Abiword, Koffice, or any other desktop-originated app can run on Maemo? Because Maemo is Linux.

Yeah they'll do it. Why? Because they can take whatever they put on the N900 on other Meego devices if they build it in QT.

You need to seperate software support and OS support. Regardless of whether the N900 gets Meego it will still have software support due to QT cross compatibility. It's OS support in the terms of bugfixes and reasonable enhancements that's in question.
