    Maemo has been very successful and it predates the iPad and even iPhone in terms of being an internet tablet. Hardware wise its very possible to run Meego on the same hardware that Android runs on so that will not be a cost implication - you can run Andriod on the N900 which is a Maemo device. What I am saying is Meego is not a new kid on the block, its just a new name with the best input from the worlds top two IT companies. I doubt the whole Oracle VS Andriod thing will change anything.

    you must be a deranged fruit phone user - symbian is still king and it will be around for a long time to come.

    I guess the N900 could be considered obscure to a kid. No wonder this forum appeals to the crowd it does.

    True that - but its good that its not flooded with Fruit'n'Veg lovers telling us how good apples and blackberries are.

    Wait... What...?!?

    You played around with an unreleased mobile OS and you complain that there aren't enough apps? Lol.

    Anyway, Meego will be able to run all the Maemo apps. And there are quite a few.

    Edit: It will also be able to run all the Symbian QT based apps.

    And now it should start making sense why Nokia didn't go the Android route. They wanted to keep backwards compatibility.
