And Meego is based on Maemo+Moblin! Does gthis mnean Meego is not Meego???

Seriously give me an example where it breaks compliance. Except package managment. Is it that hard??

Long answer: http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=2719

Short answer: Qt-SDK 1.1 does not support RPM and that makes it impossible for Nokia to base Harmattan on MeeGo. If Nokia continue to make open devices I guess that Qt-SDK 1.2 will support RPM and Nokia will move to MeeGo shortly after that.

I thought the same too but if I may guess Nokia was pretty close to release the Harmattan device long ago but then it got delayed again and again and again and here we are ... still no harmattan device released. But done is done, hopefully the next device after N9/N950 will be based on MeeGo.

As to the question whether a Harmattan MeeGo app could be installed without modification onto MeeGo proper and I thought the answer was no and was already decided.
it is questionable cause some people her seens to not know what Meego really is. I mean it is ok to brand Meego it could have closed components? what libs is not compliant? where does Nokia break compliaance? I know only one and thats packagemanager. But seems there is alot of experts in this forum who says it breaks more but none of them have actuallhy showed me any proof.

Personally I dont know if apps installed on XX device must be allowed to work on Meego core to be Meego compliant I doubt so cause different devices has different HW.

MeeGo is based on Moblin not Maemo. And a couple of other things that differs between Maemo and MeeGo besides package management: Maemo uses Busybox and Sysv initsystem and all of Debian's /etc. MeeGo uses Bash, Coreutils and Upstart initsystem. The next MeeGo will hopefully use Systemd too. And I'm sure there are plenty of other things too but these are the most important ones I can think of right now.

Edit: So to clarify:

Maemo: Busybox, DEB and Sysv
MeeGo: Bash, Coreutils, RPM and Upstart

Even so, it is not too unreasonable to assume there will be a sizable number of apps available soon after product hits the market if migration is easy. That's what I meant.

Actually you'd have to go back to 2006 to make sure it doesn't have NFC.

Nokia 6131 NFC
Near field communication (NFC) features
  • Contactless payment and ticketing capabilities
  • Access to mobile services and information with a simple touch
  • Uses Java specification requirement 257 (JSR 257) for third-party NFC applications
The PYARM-216V wandered through the FCC in February of 2007.
