That's what I thought too... I'm confused now. MeeGo is the latest Nokia OS right?]]>May 26th 2010 6:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/May 26th 2010 6:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/May 26th 2010 6:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/May 26th 2010 7:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/I got feeling this needs to be explained many times. ;)

THIS IS NOT NOKIAS MEEGO!! This is simply put Moblin 2.2 that's called MeeGo. Samething with Nokia, there will be Harmattan/Maemo 6 announced with device in 2H 2010(most probally Nokia World), again it will be called MeeGo. Both have Qt application framework.

Nokia itself is making Moblin/MeeGo image for N900 that will have dual boot option with Maemo 5. It will not be fully supported by Nokia.]]>May 26th 2010 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/

seriously wtf? need some clarification here...]]>May 26th 2010 9:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/
It was clearly stated that MeeGo wont be commercially available through Nokia, meaning that they wont be supporting it in case the shit hits the fan. That said, it is going to be available through Nokia (as you can see it now) and Nokia is dedicating resources (engineers) to help the port of MeeGo to N900.

*It is part of their agenda to bad mouth Nokia. Fox News x Obama style.]]>May 27th 2010 2:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/being that MeeGo is Linux, it is an open OS. Like Linux, there are few "official" builds supported on retail hardware. It does still run, however, just without Nokia customer support help.

Linux Mint is very similar. Haven't seen it on many retail boxes either. So its not as bad as it seems. Saying it won't have official support and saying it won't work are two different things.]]>May 27th 2010 7:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/May 26th 2010 6:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/May 26th 2010 6:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/May 26th 2010 6:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/May 26th 2010 7:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/my thoughts exactly I see no trace of maemo]]>May 26th 2010 7:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/That's not a surprise as this is pretty much moblin 2.2.
Nokia will release Harmattan/MeeGo later this year.

the 10 000 others who are downloading it, don't give much wiggleroom.]]>May 26th 2010 7:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/
Mine said the same thing, then it just stopped downloading it (appeared as if it was downloaded, but only 200MB were). I switched to IE to download it and it downloaded it in 3 minutes. IE is more reliable with downloads, especially compared to "Chromium".]]>May 26th 2010 7:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/
wow, you're right... IE did it in one try

what's up with THAT??]]>May 26th 2010 11:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/May 27th 2010 6:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/May 26th 2010 6:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/
Anyone test that out yet?]]>May 26th 2010 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/May 26th 2010 7:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/
The Archos 9 is a netbook Tablet PC with an Intel Atom and ships with Win7. I'm assuming the Poulsbo thing your talking about is the OS Archos used to use, before they switched to Android and Windows?]]>May 26th 2010 7:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/
Never mind, I just Google'd the Poulsbo platform so I understand what it is. However, it seems that the Linux on Poulsbo issue has been solved: http://www.internetling.com/2010/05/12/howto-intel-gma-500-poulsbo-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/

I don't know if that means MeeGo will or will not run on the Archos 9 though.]]>May 26th 2010 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/
Well the Dell Mini v10 which I think uses the Poulsbo platform also works with MeeGo... so that means the Archos 9 should be OK, no?]]>May 26th 2010 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/May 27th 2010 12:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/]]>May 26th 2010 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/May 26th 2010 7:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/May 26th 2010 7:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/May 26th 2010 7:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/26/meego-1-0-for-netbooks-and-n900-now-available-to-download/

I'm gonna give it a go in virtualbox just to see what it's like.
