http://download.meego.com/trunk-daily/builds/1.1.90/

I tried several daily builds
meego-handset-armv7l-n900-1.1.90.8.20110322.1-mmcblk0p.raw
meego-handset-armv7l-n900-1.1.90.7.20110315.10-mmcblk0p.raw
meego-handset-armv7l-n900-devel-1.1.90.8.20110317.7-mmcblk0p.raw
But all had the same errors.

No application is useable.

@Nicolai,
Yes nothing works other than half done on each. Music player played the music but crashed for me when trying to get back to homescreen. As expected of DE released.

If you go to a Nokia shop with such a MeeGo powered N900, you will likely get blank stares and be suggested to flash back to Maemo.
Just to be clear on this, I'm sure that the N900 MeeGo DE will never be offered as an automatic update within Maemo-powered N900s. Like with the CSSU, the user will need to do some manual work to put the N900 MeeGo DE onto their device.

Yes, that is exactly what was said (reflashing is under 'some manual work'). But to underline once more - this will not be an update to *Maemo* as such, it will be a new firmware for the same device (the N900).

Surely it will be a completlely new OS by flashing rather than just a new firmware, which I understood to be like a progression from say PR1.2 to PR1.3? I can't honeslty see N900 users ever being able to upgarade from maemo to meego via a firmware update?

I may be expecting too much but hopefully a user can dual boot maemo or meego from the emmc in the near future or at least run it from the SD card at a reasonalbe speed/perfrormance which doesn't seem to be the case at present with meego 1.2 due in just under a month.

I'll repeat again. It is not an update to Maemo 5. As for firmware - I guess that's terminology. A firmware is a premade image containing software created specifically for a device (and obviously the OS is one part of the firmware). Your current firmware contains Maemo 5 PR1.3. What we're talking about here is another firmware that will contain a build of MeeGo 1.2 optimized for N900 users, the only link between the two is that they are both made for the N900.

I may be expecting too much but hopefully a user can dual boot maemo or meego from the emmc in the near future or at least run it from the SD card at a reasonalbe speed/perfrormance which doesn't seem to be the case at present with meego 1.2 due in just under a month.
That is a question for Jukka, I don't know in what exact shapes and forms will this Developer Edition thing be made available officially. Note that the Developer Edition is not the same thing as mainline 1.2 (and very likely the release of the 'stable' Developer Edition will be trailing the MeeGo release). Honestly, you should not care more about upstream than a Ubuntu user cares about Debian.

Hmm, you should extract only the *.bz2 file and the resulting *.raw file is the image you should write to the sd card.
