Will that be complete compatability with apps created for MeeGo, or will we be reliant on community backports?

MeeGo apps are Qt apps, Qt 4.6 in PR1.2 for N900, need I say more.

P.S. Nothing new in this though, this has been discussed in several threads several times already.

From what little I understand, won't MeeGo apps need to be re-compiled to run on Maemo 5 even given QT4.6?

Yes, they need re-compilation. But that's nothing for an average user to worry about, the compatible apps will be recompiled and provided from app repositories just as apps so far. At least that's how I see the situation.

No. Qt means that apps built for meego should work out of the box on maemo

Yep. But if MeeGo will use the OpenSUSE Build Service (OBS) for app builds then it is quite trivial to provide targets for multiple distros: Maemo 5, MeeGo, etc.

Commercial apps on Ovi may be another story, but who is interested in them in the first place?

So the average user would be reliant on the community to provide the app repositories?

I hear what you're saying but I think i'd need a little more convincing, sorry.

For an average user does it really matter who puts the apps to the repos? I think not. The app developers for sure want make their apps available for all the devices capable of running them, so they will be pushing their apps to repos. And I would be pretty confident about Nokia pushing as many apps as possible to repos too to promote the Qt cross-platform capabilities.

P.S. We are getting quite far from the thread topic by now

It is very easy to convince yourself. Just ask yourself this: Nokia promise OVI maps with all features (offline search, turn by turn navigation) on Harmattan. They do not promise it for N900. Why not?

I am sure most of N900 users have thoughts to use their devices at least for year-year and a half...
Think about it.
Regards.
