Hi everyone,
I just was thinking what kind of operating system if it.
Would this by as Maemmo an operating system only for smal devices or will it be an operating system for every king of computers like Ubuntu or Windows?
Someone knows?

I guess the focus is on internet based devices as opposed to the traditional desktop.
When it is linux you'll see it everywhere soon.
Quite sure MeeGo will be no different.

The biggest difference is going to be the interface design and layout... Ubuntu is for mice and accurate clicking... MeeGo and other mobile OS's are more for Finger-friendliness.
So if you don't mind expanded 800x600 buttons on your desktop monitor I'm sure you'll be fine
