Not sure what a half-baked "Second Life"-esque 3D UI has to do with the October launch... there isn't even a very nice looking 2D UI working on MeeGo Handset yet!

if not then probably it will be told announced at nokia world.
I think maybe I'll just watch this one out. Speculating and discussing it is exhausting. and also don't want to disappoint myself.
all fingers crossed.

Besides, it's been stated on several occasions already that the next release will be Maemo6/Harmattan so even if a version of MeeGo is released during October I'd be surprised if we see it at launch of the next handset (N9).
Happy to be proven wrong though.

Hi Hellflyer
There's talk of an October launch date on the meego homepage, and reference to the n900 on the meego handset page.
Was this some sort of test?
... because I would have liked to have had a heads up or suttin'
Dang it! No one said anything about a pop quiz.

Will Nokia World have a status update on whether MeeGo1.1 is still on track to make the October launch?

about the nokia Version of meego If it looked anything like the video (source:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INVlmjJKXjk) then I think we might be surprised, because people loved the way it looked and thought might be the way to go. it might actually be released earlier then expected or maybe we r looking at a november/december launch.
besides I thought maybe Meego has a stock UX that is the basic. that will be released this october, but we'll see different versions from different companies where they add there own flare? or thats what I thought...
about the nokia N9, whats the deal, is it official, is that the final look/specs? because i'm reading alot about it. really whats up with it. its all over the internet like its already launched. but thats how i see. I think nokia saw how well it did, virtually, and might actually release it. since many people think its a mac look alike but did say they like the way it looks.
but actually i'm really waiting to see how this is going to turn out.
The suspense is killing.

So are you saying the currently available MeeGo Handset UX is unrepresentative of what will finally ship? If so it's probably stating the obvious as MeeGo on handsets will get panned in it's current state, but would be good to hear officially (I have missed any official announcements to that effect). Is there an approximate ETA for when the updated UX will start to become available in the codedrop builds?
Nokia is leading the development of the MeeGo Touch Framewrok, which is open and available commit by commit at http://meego.gitorious.org/meegotouch . What is being developed on top includes Ovi apps and services that are part of the Nokia differentiation as MeeGo vendor.
Any other MeeGo vendor can do the same.

So basically, meego handset UX 1.1 is released in October. This is "vendor neutral" release.
At a later date Nokia "enhanced" version of Meego is released.
It really depends how much of the Nokia version will be closed source/proprietary. E.g. OVI Services, OVI Maps, Flash and UI "Skin".
If Nokia want to release a meego-based handset at the end of the year ; I would imagine (judging by the current release) meego has a long way to go to be usable.
Unless Nokia's version contains "enhancements" beyond apps and drivers - e.g. other UI components.
