Man the more I hang around here the more I realize two things...

1. I want the N900 still...if only it had the right 3G freq's for me.
2. I need a forum with less developers on it.

I'm not 100% sure what you're getting at, but from the FAQ:

Is MeeGo an open source project or a product?
MeeGo is an open source project hosted by the Linux Foundation that encourages community contributions in accordance with the best practices of the open source development model.
Although, I think a particular vendor can choose to add in closed-source components on top of MeeGo if necessary (notably hardware drivers). This has been discussed in various other threads.

In conclusion: move along, nothing new to see here.

I apologize if this is just adding to the "FUD" but I’ve been following this story and reading all these posts and I can honestly that I don’t really care if the N900 gets MeeGo or not. All I really care about is what my N900 can do right now and being excited for new development in terms of apps and functionality.

With any new device I expect that development may be a little stale for the first six months, maybe even a year, then once most of the initial bugs are worked out and developers have had time to write software for the device you will finally start to see the cool apps you’ve been waiting for. I am still happy with what the N900 can do right now but I was really excited and willing to wait for that point when the new “cool” apps would come out.

But now with the announcement of MeeGo, and I realize this is all speculation, I feel like that development will be put on hold and six more months to a year of stale time before we reach that point. So it may be almost two years from my purchase date to see anything new and exciting on this hardware. By then there will be another device that will fit my needs better and most likely it will be from another manufacture and a different OS and I will probably jump ship again since I’m just an average consumer and don’t really have any loyalty to Linux/Maemo/MeeGo.

Anyway, the only way MeeGo affects me personally is the possibility of a stale development time for the entire time I will use the N900 as my main device. I’m a little bummed but like I said before, I bought the N900 for what it can do right now and right now its fits my needs. I’ll just be keeping my eyes opened for my next device whatever it may be.
