Nothing has really been shown yet nor working (Moblin does not count) and the announcement for the final version of Apple OS 4 and a newer version of the iPhone is a month away.
Simply put, talk is cheap. Signing up as a partner, in these times, is even cheaper. And I'm actually for MeeGo. Just tired of waiting about a whole lot of talk and nothing shown quite yet other than a terminal window, no UI that's in motion... nor product or update(s) to existing products made clear yet.
Anyway, rant aside... very doubtful.

Is it 100% sure that if/when MeeGo is released, N900 owners with Maemo5 will be able to upgrade to it? Cause I'm not gonna replace this phone just for MeeGo -___-

MeeGo, when it gains so many partners and reimplemented in so many different ways, will look and feel quite different than Maemo.
I hope it feels at least as good compared to Maemo (both the deliverables and the community).
Edit: wait, did he OP mean that the release of MeeGo is still far away and the partnerships are quite far fetched that by the time it all pans out, iPhone (and the rest of humanity) will be no more?

It would be nice to get more insights and news from the MeeGo project, especially from Nokia (Intel have, to be fair, shown off and tried to engage the public with some of their MeeGo projects). Words are cheap, something concrete would be nice. Potential with nothing but a few words to back it up won't kill anything let alone the iPhone.

MeeGo just got a bunch of support from outside companies. MeeGo is the unified Linux-based mobile OS from Intel (and their Moblin) and Nokia (and their Maemo). While both of those companies have been publicly vocal about MeeGo, a bunch of partners have just stood up to voice their support for the growing mobile platform.
Acer, ASUS, BMW, Electronic Arts, Gameloft, Novell and ST-Ericsson are the biggest names to issue statements of support for MeeGo, although a total of 27 new companies announced that they’re supporting the new open source platform. Obviously, there are some influential names in hardware (Acer, ASUS, ST-Ericsson), software (Electronic Arts, Gameloft, Novell) and beyond (BMW). BMW is an interesting case, since you normally don’t think of a car company caring about such things, but their in-car navigation system is built on the former Moblin platform.
Here’s BMW’s complete statement on MeeGo:
Although the MeeGo team released a very rough draft of the OS, MeeGo is far from finished. The GUI is not yet in the public builds – however, the MeeGo team says we can expect to see the first MeeGo devices coming out around the end of the year.
