Oh wow, MeeGo team. I just loaded MeeGo up, and wow, this is the definition of "smooth". No tearing, the screen is responsive and going into sub-menus is really nice to look at.
But there are still a ton of strings without friendly names (qt_ everywhere), and on the Settings app, the grey top bar-thing doesn't sit flush with the menubar, and you can see the text in the gap. The items in the menubar still aren't centered, and the app loading animation makes it feel slow. (I liked the app loading animation, never thought it could be done that way. Please make it smoother!)
Xterm looks really ugly, perhaps white-on-black and larger fonts?
The window border for the task switcher is missing too.
And silver-on-grey text isn't really readable
I appreciate that you guys are taking an extra month to finish it up, as it looks GREAT. The system doesn't run hot like Nitdroid and boot times are quick.
By the way, why are the images using ext3? I thought MeeGo would use BTRFS, or am I missing something?
Anyways, I only had a 2GB card on hand, so I made a compressed BTRFS image on my own. It took up 654 MB, as opposed to the 1.1GB EXT3 is using. You might want to look into that.
I'm also asking, why is there swap space on the image, when it's using the internal (eMMC) swap?
And finally, please make the lock slider lock/unlock the device.

Hello Guys,
if you are using Power Kernel, the best way to try meego is to copy the image on the sd-card and flash the Kernel with Maemo Flasher temporaly! After this little flash command it boots up and you can try it out, without the danger of running in trouble with uboot/power-kernel or NITDroid, BUT: You have to use the Flasher everytime for boot Meego up.
About navigation: I know that AURA is NOT coming to Maemo, it will be a MeeGo App - sure you have (maybe/maybe not) to pay for it, but it's better than having no navigation app.
Also a nice fact is, that MeeGo-Handset have installed Python out of the box, so you can also code with python / PyQt.

Locking not working is a bug, used to work actually. Swap space is cos of p3 having to be there for u-boot

Carsten said that QML is easy. How easy would it be for one with some php and sql knowledge and where does one get started?

As I say, you have endless possibilities.

On a somehow related matter, is there a safe way to detect MeeGo? Look here:https://github.com/xerxes2/panucci/b...ci/platform.py
edit: I don't got a N900 myself so I have to ask.
