Exactly. As far as we know at the moment:
The N9 with MeeGo (Harmattan) is still debian based. It's maemo 6 with the MeeGo brand on top. The next Device after the N9 will get the fedora based MeeGo. But perhaps we will see not so many differences. The UI for booth devices is based on the same system: Qt.

Thanks. but this comes to my second question. will the maemo 6 (meego branded) be updated to the real meego 1.2 once it will be available( official I mean) ?
also based on this pic :only moblin 2.2 is branded as meego 1.0
MeeGo-Harmattan Hybrid Naming
This is one of the biggest confusion generators I’ve seen come from Team Maemo. After MeeGo was first formally announced, the next release of Maemo (code named Harmattan) came into question. Word from Nokia was that a Harmattan device was still on track for release but it would not be branded as a Maemo product. Instead, Harmattan would be deemed as “an instance of MeeGo” and was referred to as “MeeGo-Harmattan”.
That might not be a problem, except for one little detail: MeeGo relies on the RPM approach to application packaging, whereas Harmattan will continue with the DEB format used by Maemo. This makes “MeeGo-Harmattan” a transitional hybrid.
Why Nokia doesn’t just go ahead with the Maemo 6 label just for this release I’m not sure… but the hybrid naming has resulted in significant confusion in the Maemo community. For that reason I proposed at talk.maemo.org that Nokia come up with some official name making clear the transitional nature of the upcoming OS.
I have not seen any movement on this lately, so to prod Nokia along I have some suggestions:
MidGo
MinMo
…or even MaeGo
I’m sure the creative bunch reading this will have ideas too, right?
