Personally I define a hacker as a creative and enthusiastic developer. IMO the MeeGo DE is primarily aimed for those guys.
While regular users are free to try it, I don't think it will suit their needs since it will not include proprietary media codecs and other things regular end users expect in their devices.

Then again its Nokia, chances of them doing anything nice like that for us are kinda remote

Does this mean the N900 will become something like the nexus one? Also will Sygic Mobile Maps work on Meego? I get lost way too much and my phone needs nav on it.

Till this device will be out at the year end many of our developers will have many applications for use on meego so nokia will has played a game with us. its making people work for free as giving n900 a meego de editions and making profits its self. As there will be many applications for meego people will buy meego handset and nokia will be on track again.

We already have Maemo 5 on N900 now.
What we want now is more attractive apps.
What is the meaning for MeeGo DE running on an N900 ?
Just another unstable RPM-package management open-source crap ?

Or for people who want a more open-source system.
Or for people who are fed up with tearing and want proper vsync support.
Or for people who just want to piss you off by running a different OS.
BTW. normally we would force you to install this to your N900, but since you protest so loud, we'll make an exception this once and let you decide what you want to run. So if you don't like it, don't install it (just cause we're that nice).

A MeeGo distribution, instead, would mean modern base packages, and an upgrade path -- hopefully an upgrade every six months...
And applications may not be the best in the class from the start -- I don't know, but open source means improvement need not come from the vendor.
If the device keeps being useful for its core functions, and has an upgrade path, I would not ask for anything else. Ultimately, it will be in the community hands.
