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.
also based on this pic :
only moblin 2.2 is branded as meego 1.0I think we will wait and see.

Not so sure about the "reusing old stuff" aspect of A8.
TI has itself only last month managed to get its new Beagleboard into limited production with the new 1Ghz omap3, still US only according to their page.
The 600MHz beagbleboard was available a long time before N900 with 600Mhz processor was announced. (In the meanwhile TI also released a 720MHz version).

I don't think the question has been asked so far so here I go...
If I don't trust MeeGo so far... When the N9 comes out, wouid I be able to flash the device with Maemo? Because I am currently very satisfied with Maemo...

It might be possible to get Maemo 5 running on the MeeGo-Harmattan device, but doing so would take some work. There's an effort underway to rebuild Maemo 5 on top of a MeeGo base, and if that's successful, then that will be your solution.

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 :
It's very confusing.
And I'm sure, the most people at Intel or Nokia, don't understand it, too. Please read here at Texrat's Blog for more information about it:
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?

I personally think it would be wiser for Nokia to completly drop Maemo 6/Harmattan and fully focus on MeeGo... I don't see a reason for Harmattan to exist when MeeGo will begin. Although I am all for Maemo 2.0 for future references.
