MeeGo's release has very little to do with Nokia's handset.

We ended up getting it in December if memory serves me right... Anyway the way i look at it is this. If Android 3.0 comes out before Meego or what ever they decide to call it it then, then Meego will not stand a chance. They better provide something appealing or else Nokia and Intel are done
Nokia got huge uphill battle here(that can't achieve same kind of domination as Symbian), but it's not going to be decided by 1-5 weeks release difference.
I don't even know why are really talking about Nokia here as Nokia will release Harmattan/MeeGo that's not even officially MeeGo product this year with a device. All we know that we will see that one device being announced and released this year.

Just as FroYo was released two and half months ago and still represents just a minuscule percentage of Android devices sold, so will 3.0 be interesting only if you look far into 2011.
Will the first devices of MeeGo (in 2011) be as feature-full/fluid/mature as similar devices with Android 3.0.
I'm not talking about number of apps... Android started with a handful when iPhone had millions and it still picked up. I'm talking OS. And of course, the only viable answer to that question is "Wait and See."
That, and personal preference.

I think Meego has a serious shot at taking on android and Iphone.
But only..........
If Nokia and Intel get behind the OS and show some real commitment and support.
Can't really speak for Intel, but Nokia seem to suffer from a short term attention span. They launch a product or os, get all hyped up about then change tack entirely and leave the end user wondering why they bothered.
If meego is to be all it can Nokia is going to have to run with it and STICK with it through thick and thin and not go off on a tangent with a "new, improved" os idea 12 months later.

would be pretty gutting if they don't make the os available to n900 users. If they don't these handsets are as good as dead in the water.

MeeGo test images are now available for the N900 - see here for details. Weekly code-drops are planned for the future that will include closed binaries - right now many applications are just place holders.
Testing MeeGo on N900 is quite simple - copy the uncompressed RAW filesystem image to a 2GB+ microSD card using dd on Linux, then copy (NOT flash) a temporary kernel to the N900 using Flasher in order to boot MeeGo from the microSD card.
Reboot the N900 to get back to Maemo5.
Install instructions here.
