So can someone that knows whats going on break this down im dumb terms for peple that dont know much about what is going on. Specifically in point form.
Nothing graphical.
N900 WILL NOT get an official build of Megoo.
Nokia will release developer editions which are not designed for end users.
Maybe one day they might release (or a dev) a hacker edition of Megoo. Like they did with older OS's for previous hardware releases.
Like 770 got the newer firmware in form of a Hacker edition and so it other hardware.

Enough said.
"grew smartphone sales 3% from the excellent Christmas quarter and sold 21.5 million smartphones. "
They are talking about only smartphones.
Even so, half of 21 million is still more than the nearest competitor, RIM.

"107.8 million Nokia phones were sold in Q1 2010 (33% global market share) "
So, in Q1 2010 Nokia sold 107.8 million phones, of which 21 million were smartphones.

First look at MeeGo 1.0 for Notebooks:

I can totally see a cheap tablet (atom processor, 1/2gb ram, 4/8gb ssd, sd cards, usb, etc) with this.

i don't understand, if the n900 is a reference platform for developing meego, how difficult can it be for the community to "port" it to the n900.
And could someone explain how we would call it "port" since it is developed for the n900?

We keep on pumping out software. Yesterday PR1.2, today MeeGo 1.0 OS core for #N900. http://meego.com/

Doesn't Intels MeeGo(moblin) have it's own smartphone UX? Like we saw from the Intels videos and that's what N900 is getting, not Harmattan/MeeGo?

EDIT:
No, the thread is about bringing the MeeGo instance contained in Harmattan to N900. Ie, bring Harmattan to N900. Harmattan on N900.
My (personal) hope is that it is really a trivial port. Similar to how we ported Maemo5 to Beagleboard and Zoom2.. both OMAP3 devices with similar hardware.. But audience.. everyone moves on sometime.
This project is to bridge the gap till MeeGo (RPM based) is mature enough and has differentiation available and we can want to port that to N900. It isn't a new 'big project', it's similar to a mini project like Maemo on Beagle was. And best of all, it is a project to have the N900 not be left behind. And a realistic one of the sort.
It's been a failure if we don't have something working properly on N900 by Harmattan release (or whatever comes right before).
Goal would be to make the hardware adaptation stand on it's own so it can be easily maintained and follow Harmattan releases with ease. Done just right, it would be a minimal set of patches towards Harmattan + some binaries to support N900.
Beginnings would be patching against what is being released in the Harmattan alpha, beta releases. Building images with that, configurations, etc.

If it's true that we are supposed to get Harmattan to N900 then it shouldn't be any kind of surprise that it's coming late 2H to N900.
To be honest i thought N900 was getting Moblin phone UX. Is there any info of when that might be coming btw?
