iPhone is too closed to allow applications evolve without OS. But N900 isn't. There is no need for MeeGo or Maemo6 to get new apps. Indeed you need only new Qt and some other libraries.
i appreciate that QT makes stuff easily portable, but if apps rolled for harmatton/meego won't install and run by default on my freemantle n900, at the tap of a button, then when you have written simply does not fly.

Sorry for my English.
Office editor: Abiword? Debian+Open Office? They do fine for me!
Street navigator: Navit perhaps?

Office Editor... Abiword is not optized (so I read)
Debian+open office? Do you think is optimized for our device? Open file directly from email?
I was referring to software write specifically for N900.

Does not sound like an official meego port to the n900.

Not to sound nasty about the whole NEED and MUST in there, but you do realize that unless your buying from some Government black ops, than wether you spend 6 Euro or 6000 Euro, by the time you take your knew device out of the box it is outdated and obsolete. You can't really demand inprovement. Yes, I hope we do get updates still for the N900 (I love mine).

On the other hand you write as if Nokia has completely dropped support for N900 already. It's not right, I think. Let's wait.

They said the target platforms for MeeGo are ARM and x86/Atom. So it's entirely possible that any ARM binaries/applications will work on on both Maemo 5 and MeeGo if they are written for a common toolkit (QT).
Look at most Linux distributions, Ubuntu 8 applications don't just stop working because Ubuntu 9 is out, aslong as the userland toolkits (gtk/qt) are up to date it should 'just work'.
The problems will come with updated hardware features that should be taken care of by the app developer. If its a bonus feature, use it or enable reduced functionality if its not there.
I'd be very pleased if they push MeeGo to the N900 but if not, I don't think its much to panic about.
