I have had MeeGo on my netbook for almost a year. It works, but so do most Linux distributions. But I cannot go to the store and get a MeeGo preinstalled netbook.
Meego will probably be just fine on x86 tablets, but again, so will any Linux. Manufacturers still have to make themselves a nice UI.
For a long time MeeGo sounded like a nice thing, but it doesn't seem to get anywhere. The world is racing along, while MeeGo is firmly parked in comparison.
In China, MeeGo tablets seem to be quite taking the heat away from APad (a low cost android tablet design manufacture in China for OEM production) which is very popular last year.
Meego's popularity is not mainly due to Nokia, but its being a true open-platform. Most popular localized applications are well-developed for MeeGo; e.g., QQ client, the most popular IM in China, is available before MeeGo tablet's first launch.
Our company is developing and OEM contracting APad products, and we do find MeeGo has more potential as it's actually easier to find embedded Linux developers than Android developers in China.
Actually I agree with you in many ways. I do think it's a shame if US and Finland was going to abandon MeeGo. However, someone's trash might be someone else treasure, and the rest of the world does already find MeeGo a treasure. China in particular is picking it up very well, so far.

You should have posted this on the 1000+ commented thread already about this whole nokia microsoft thing, and that goes for anyone else posting new threads to do with it. Please respect the rules and do not create another thread unless necessary as it spams the forum.

Don't worry about it, if it criticizes Nokia, it has a better chance of getting merged or deleted anyway.

Pretty rough, IMO.
