To all the mentally-challenged people posting here:
1. Meego is an Intel project. As of today, Nokia has nothing at all to do with Meego.
2. Meego DE for the N900 is a essentially a volunteer project, not a "Nokia mobile OS".
The point of Meego DE for the N900 is to provide a way for early-adopting developers to start programming apps that will eventually run on Intel's Meego phones.
In a weeks time it will be the 6th month of the year and how long has development been going on in the MeeGo dept?, please do have a look at the current status as it is no more than a very basic ui with nothing going for it at all AND it has to be run externally from an sd, this is no more than maybe a couple of hours work in any developers eyes and yes i was a developer once for your information so i can talk with experiance.
Do something constructive and get the code from Nokia for the 900 and you will be doing something very very usefull for everyone, untill then please stop dreaming as it is now a joke.
Do me a favour now and open your eyes please.

Microsoft hold the field and have done so for many years regardless of who hates them and now Nokia have been more or less made part of them you will see only Microsoft products coming out of Nokia and that means Maemo and MeeGo will cease totally, now this has happened we are left with a handfull of devs working on an adaption of MeeGo for the N900 and i can bet you they will soon scurry along to Microsoft and forget alltogether the project because devs go where the money is, a simple eqation no?.
I have said all along Meego is and always will be a no go for the N900 and you look at many of my previous posts you will see.
I have more than one 900 so i once again will repeat myself and say i have a big interest in an os for the 900 as many owners do too.
Maemo is dead MeeGo is nothing more than a desktop so what are people to think now?.
PS i made a typo i spelt equation wrong now look at that.

A member here since Feb 2010 and you are still the same whining dirt bag over a year later.

I've never before responded to the ridiculous posts you spew out, Nor will I do so again.
But it is views such as yours that damage the community and the enthusiasm of developers.
You want some progress from maemo/meego?
Then leave here and don't come back.
This Community will blossom without you.
Today you are joining my ignore list so don't waste any of your time replying.

Okay, can anyone help me with dual boot?
I've flashed meego san francisco image to mmc, flashed vmlinuz with flasher, tried it and it's okay.
Now, I have power-kernel-47 and multiboot. As far as I could see there is no way to set up meego to dual boot with multiboot, or I'm missing something.
Uboot procedure is again incompatible with 47, right ?
Help?

I ssh -X to run the xwd script on a PC. It was wrapped in a script coz I didn't know how to type | and > in xterm.
I didn't pay much attention to the completeness of the UI as I'm more interested in making Objective-C based mobile development environment with GNUstep. And I found Meego a good ground for that. The UI may not a well done coz it wasn't designed well. Designing a good UI needs more contributions from HCI people and it could be worth waiting before the actual implementations so they don't need to redo it over and over but even that it still could end up looking and feeling like Maemo.
PS. I failed to get import working that's why i use xwd.

If i had the original code for the N900 then even i would have a crack at it and do a hell of a lot more then has been done so far but there is the problem you see and untill the day Nokia release everything for their abondoned device we will have the same thing over and over with nothing more than a put together that does not work very well at all if at all.
TMO is for the N900 so why does it not push for the code needed? have you any idea at all what difference it would make if it was available?.

The problem with Maemo was that the application layer was poorly designed and end up mixing layers that should be separated so the lower level architecture could be discussed in a different context.

We are talking about Meego, which is a Linux OS targetted for future Intel smartphones.
What you are talking about I'm not sure, you're not always coherent.
Anyways, to reiterate:
1. The Meego DE is interesting only if you want a sneak-peak at how future Meego phones will work under the hood, or if you want to get a head start on programming future Meego apps right now.
2. The Nokia N900 is a fantastic device, but it is finished, in all respects of the word. If you're waiting for a new OS for the device or for extended support -- please don't, it's never gonna happen.
3. There will never, ever be a Nokia Meego device. There's no point in even discussing this possibility.
