MeeGo-Harmattan is going to be the bastard child of MeeGo Handheld UX and the existing Maemo back-end, as I understand it. Personally it's horribly confusing, and I'd just as soon ignore it when talking about MeeGo, since it's not -part- of MeeGo.

The MeeGo Handheld UX coming later will go on top of the MeeGo core that currently has only a console.

I believe so. As far as the MeeGo core is the same in the CLI only MeeGo 1.0 for N900 and the Netbook one.

The MeeGo core will not be in MeeGo-Harmattan.

The one thing I'm not 100% sure about is the UI/UX. MeeGo-Harmattan may have a different UI than MeeGo for N900.. it may be a Nokia-only one.

I do believe the MeeGo-Harmattan UI is already in the open at git.. but I haven't seen anything running or anyone working with it (as in screenshots or anything). The true MeeGo UX for the N900 will be released next month (June) for devs.. and hopes to be stable by MeeGo 1.1.

The only reason I say they may be similar is that both the MeeGo-Harmattan device is due around the same time the MeeGo 1.1 is supposed to be stable; so I was somewhat thinking the UI/UX's are going to be related somehow. Both, at the least, should be QT based.

There will be 2 versions of MeeGo on the N900? MeeGo 1.0 and Meego / Harmattan?

I thought they were the same. I didn't there were 2 versions of MeeGo that could run on the N900, or are you saying that MeeGo-Harmattan isn't going to run on the N900 in any scenario.

If you're interested in MeeGo proper, ignore MeeGo-Harmattan. Just wipe it from your mind. I don't see any community build coming from it, and don't know what the logic is behind it.

There is only MeeGo. And Zuul. wait...

See, that's what I'm asking. I thought MeeGo 1.0 for N900 was Harmattan but I'm being told it's MeeGo proper. It's Harmattan right?

No.

Seriously.. wipe your mind of everything you know. We need to start fresh.

There is two operating systems. Harmattan, think of it as a Maemo 6, and MeeGo - think of it as.. MeeGo.

Harmattan will be on the next device. This device will be compatible with MeeGo, but it is not MeeGo.

The N900 is the development platform for MeeGo. There will be (and is) MeeGo ports for the N900.

Harmattan has, at this point, nothing to do at all in any fashion way shape form or transparent mist with the N900. There is, however, a thread started by qgil about working on a Community Hacker Edition of Harmattan to run on the N900.

So there will be MeeGo for the N900 and Community Hacker EDITION of Harmattan for the N900, neither of which will be supported by Nokia.

So one day I can triple-boot, Maemo, MeeGo 1.1 and MeeGo-Harmattan community edition? At least one will support USSD and service codes, right?

ROFL.. technically possible...

Not really sure why you'd want to ... but who knows.. maybe between the three you'll get support for all that weird stuff .
