these are still referential UI....just simulated or designed to show the proposed UI !! So I'm expecting some more massive awesome changes *crossed fingers*

These could be very close to what shows up in 1.0, but propably still pretty far from what things will look like in the first actual Meego products.

This looks really promising and what the n900 should have been.

It really depends on how Nokia develop thier implementation.

I basically agree with you.
"Meego = Moblin + best of Maemo" from slides does say that it is Moblin NG. Seems to me that MeeGo added Qt and telephony stuff from Maemo but Maemo doesn't really have Qt yet (I mean a working Maemo )
Probably we should spend some time to compare MeeGo and Maemo in the future.

To be fair, Moblin and Maemo share a lot pkgs, so that I can't really say it is Moblin NG

I was thinking that 2 strong companies with Linux Fundation behind gave it a balanced-power over the project, is it still true? I hope MeeGo won't be just another Android.
I am still waiting for the truely opened MeeGo development to see how things goes and kinda reluctant to trust feelings ...

I don't like this one bit to be honest. It looks dry and crowded, much like some windows 7 screens from last week.

IMHO N900 looks much prettier than this,
why so many buttons?
and why so square?

I'd rather have rounded edges and a dropdown menu.

The other screens (the ones not quoted) look nice but a little busy as well.


I wish they'd communicate more with us and maybe post polls like the community design instead of just hurling screenshots around...

They're building this device for us, not for themselves and they should rely more on this community instead of silly market studies.

I begin to mistrust this Intel alliance because of the ui and because of the new CPUs (ARM/X86? power efficiency???)

Your looking at the reference Meego UI, not Harmattan.

I wouldn't worry just as yet.

i actually like these screenshots, just hope that we get a kickass phone to go with this os. btw is just me or does the 4th pick from the row look like turd in the toilet lol

I like the screenshots looks flashy and refreshing they will need to educate ppl or put some text under the icons if they keep that many options on screen as it will be hard to know what they all mean.
A theme for N900 based on them screenshots would be awesome, i would even pay for such theme

looks ok. better thn maemo5

I like the look, it's clean and informative. In the interest of full disclosure I've always had a thing for solid colors and square edges. The style in windows XP and Vista annoyed me for this reason. What I really want is the portrait mode keyboard, which it is logical to assume MeeGo will have. No more putting my stuff down to send a reply off.
