I'd greatly prefer if the project was going to have closer ties to Debian (i.e. more Maemo than Moblin). They have extensive experience with maintaining a non-commercial mutli-arch distro and know how to persist (18 years!)...unlike most of these mobile Linux projects, sadly.

Great, have you run this on your Ideapad?

So, how's this going to go?
IMO, this mobile distro should be as upstream as possible. It should also be kept nice and small as far as base system is concerned: kernel + init + shell + coreutils + misc utils + package manager.
I'd personally like to see an almost Desktop Linux like thing going on: one base OS, with multiple spins (think Ubuntu - Mergnome? KMer? eMer?) and each spin having many different hardware configurations.
(for end-users: choose your board type e.g. RX-51, modify/keep a suggested kernel config, select DE, add apps and you're ready to go)

A few thoughts and questions...
Can Meego be classed as a distro in its own right, yet? Or, is it still a derivative of Maemo & Moblin? Apart from targetting small devices is it more similar to Fedora or Debian - might it make sense to partner/align/pool with the more more mature distro that it's most like?
To achieve mass-market penetration of any OS, it's probably necessary for that OS to be pre-loaded on devices. Teaming up with a h/w vendor to have a Meego device seems unlikely at the moment but it may happen. So, in the mean time Meego needs to be really adaptable so it can be used to replace Android/Windows/other and make use of as many h/w features as possible as well as being competitive on the s/w front (e.g. geo-location, OCR, speech recognition, office s/w, games, etc, etc). A lot to expect!
In terms of using the OS, for handsets, there is a real opportunity to offer a nearly full linux distro which, can work really well with a touch-friendly UI (e.g. Cordia) or, when required serve as a slimmed down desktop computer (e.g. EasyDebian); and, as technology advances, the desktop capabilites will be able to be expanded.
