I'm sure meego will be released in october but we'll have to see what state it will be in.
It's a shame because the meego developers for the N900 must be under pressure to get it working (from Nokia).
Without their hard work meego for the n900 would have never happened.

That would be the Harmattan/Maemo6 version of MeeGo - I'd be very surprised to learn that "true" MeeGo for Handsets is anywhere near ready for a prime time release this year, based on the development code that is available.
Everything has to start from a seed. If you dont accept it, that seed cant grow. So your idealogy is incorrect and we will se MeeGo as is as soon as it is launched.

What I've referred to as "true" MeeGo on the other hand is the OS based almost entirely on Moblin with very little Maemo input, and which is nowhere near ready for release in 2010 let alone a product announcement.

What a lot of people are forgetting is that MeeGo isn't exactly a brand new platform. It's all the work that has gone into Moblin+all the work that has gone into Maemo 1-5.
Think of it in the light of Debian and Fedora merging. Imagine all the awesome things that could come out of that?
Not that I am saying that would be a good thing. it would do Linux as a whole, a lot of good. Developers from both sides improving the 'platform'. This is in essence what happened with MeeGo. We have the Maemo Team and the Moblin team making a Linux Platform for mobile computing. It is something a lot of people have been waiting for.
I think it's awesome that we, as N900 owners, get to be the first to actually use it. Even if it isn't exactly usable now. the fact that we can eve dual-boot a cell phone is in itself, amazing.

P.S. The N900 is truly the first cell phone that I know of that reminds me of 'future' tech that was mentioned in sci-fi of earlier decades, and people whine about it....

We can only hope flash will die anyway that. Its time to progress faster on HTML5 instead (and ofcourse open video codecs)

I'm not happy about idea of flash dead. That all crap about flash being a bad platform is nothing but apple's propaganda. I mean if you could run flash 10 years ago on much weaker processors why would it be an such a cpu hog now when we have greater processors in our mobile phones ?
html5 has long way to go, as well as open codecs. I'm just hoping that other corporate politics won't hurt that much end users as apple did to their customers.
Demands for non-trivial licensing fees are likely why the N900 does not have Flash 10.1, and why it rarely gets upgraded on existing handsets.

Hopefully we will get to preorder the N9 in October!
