MeeGo Touch (and the use thereof) has been discussed on the MeeGo forums. Might be relevant to you: http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=524

Simple summary: if you don't have to use it, or you want maximum portability, don't use it. I certainly won't be.

I personally still think this was not the best decision to make, but perhaps this is something they've realised by making that very recommendation.
