Please learn to keep meego.com and MeeGo from Nokia seperate. You won't see non-redistributable commercial applications bundled with meego.com images.

Nokia thought that cracking this market and exploiting it was not hard enough as it is and decided to abandon maemo and joined a new system instead - called MeeGo.
Meego does the same thing as maemo but is more open source and development is open to everyone (one day).
Meego is the best because maemo does not sound cool enough and maemo is really old now.
There is a large collection of software for maemo written by many developers who spend significant amounts of time writing new software with loads of features that make the n900 so interesting to own.
With meego there is a probability that much of the current software will have to be changed to run properly on Meego. Developers hate writing new features and prefer spending their time on re-testing and tweaking their software to run on Meego. Why fix bugs when you can spend time constantly changing your software on an ever-changing platform?
Maemo is based on gtk and Meego is based on QT. Gtk & QT make the software on your phone look pretty and help developers write cool software.
Nokia chose QT because it's the best.
Hmm here's a question though, not many people actually bought the N900, at least we know for a fact that during this whole year ever since N900 was launched (almost a whole year anyway), not many developers have actually made any specific top quality killing apps for the phone (those apps are available on iPhone and other platforms already), and the OVI store sucks and really there're just not many developers actually making stuff for it.
People have been abandoning the N900 as well and Nokia pretty much dropped support for it too.
So what makes Nokia think that releasing a new device will change everything?? Who knows, maybe Meego won't even be the final line of the product......
My point being is that you can't trust Nokia anymore these days, at least i don't. With the little amount of support they provided for the N900, as well as its small community of users and developers, i don't see how people would spend money on another Nokia device, only that it's a newer version using Meego....can't they just concentrate on making Maemo great?
Maemo 5 has been through various stages obviously, and now they're jumping straight to Meego....

In many Asia countries, N900 just release as a new Nokia mobile phone for only 3 - 4 months..... and then hear Nokia is abandoning the N900...
Nokia don't really care about customer feeling in these days
I really want my money back from Nokia......

It's the same old story of Nokia leaving everything in limbo and not forwith with any information regarding future and current developments.
Until Meego on the n900 fully supports the hardware via the meego UX then it's vapourware.
I want to be proven wrong.

lets face it. its all hype. nothing will happen untill(if) it happens nokia dont give a rats *** about the n900! FACT!!!!!
meego aint gonna change that.
there board room is too busy working out ways to con punters into buying the n8 and n9. and meego isnt gonna be a touch on maemo
for at least its first year. by then the n900 will be 2 years old.
and we will all be moaning that we need meego 2.0 like we are for pr1.3. and where the hell is that!!!!! what hope is there??
