Is it true that PR1.3 WONT support dual-booting?

The Nokia N900 is used as development hardware for platform developers working with MeeGo on ARM hardware architecture. While the software from the MeeGo project runs on the Nokia N900 for development purposes, Nokia does not intend to provide a dual-boot OS option to consumers in upcoming N900 commercial software releases as we want to ensure that we provide the best possible experience designed for that device. The meego.com blog post was primarily targeted to the audience reading the blog: MeeGo developers.

Seriously, does anyone on t.m.o. read? I feel like bashing my head against the wall while trying to parse this for useful posts.

FAQ:
  • Dual booting:
    1.3 will probably contain a "fix" to the OS that will make dual booting easier. It will not provide nor will there ever be an officially (Nokia) supported dual boot option for the N900. Dual booting into Meego or NITdroid is already possible through community-supported methods.
  • Meego
    Feature freeze on Meego 1.1 has happened, and it will be released in the next few weeks. Meego 1.1 is not a full-featured, consumer-ready OS. 1.2 will be much closer, and will come out in six months. There may be backports from 1.2 that will make 1.1 a viable option over Maemo 5 for N900 owners before that time, but that depends on work by interested volunteers.
  • Flash
    There is absolutely no reason to believe that Flash 10 will ever be available as part of the official system. Adobe wants licensing for (mobile) Flash 10 that Nokia understandably doesn't want to pay (again) for the N900. Edit: apparently this changed in 10.1, after drama with Apple, Nokia, Macromedia, etc. I suspect Nokia still isn't going to bother with the resources to prepare, test and deploy at this point.

    A hacked 9.x Flash that reports itself as version 10.x is available. It will make websites that require flash 10 but don't actually use the new features (i.e. most sites) work properly.
  • When?
    Nokia has a policy that updates are released "when ready", and as such do not announce them in advance. You'll get PR1.3 when they determine it's ready.
  • So what is in PR1.3?
    All the bug fixes since 1.2 (week 19) and the release week that the PR1.3 is taken from. The current candidate is from week 36. This is the list of the 99 bugs marked as fixed between those two weeks. There will probably be some other minor updates to official apps. Nothing more than that is confirmed by any vaguely reliable source AFAIK.

I'm pretty sure they read, whether they comprehend it is an entirely separate question to which the answer is usually "no."

I'm feeling like this since the N900 was released...
It will be even worse after the release of the N9...

Funny times ahead!

OT: maybe I should run a small competition.
"Find it and get it" or something like that...

What do you think?

Since the release of Flash 10.1, manufacturers no longer have to pay per device.

Can I license Flash Player for distribution on mobile devices?

Members of the Open Screen Project are able to distribute Flash Player 10.1 with their devices royalty free; however, a license (contract) still needs to be in place between Adobe and the licensee.
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/faq/

Times have changed at Adobe. They need Flash on every platform they can get. The Android version is free for all in the Android Market. It's up to Nokia to port Flash 10.1 with hardware acceleration and all the bells and whistles, but since Maemo is dying and the focus has shifted to MeeGo they probably won't do it anytime soon, or ever.
