So what did I learn from the conference? Not many new info, but still interesting to talk to people working on QT/Meego.

First, Meego is far from dead. Well, maybe handset is, but not the other platforms, not yet at least.

I talked with a QT guy about qml performance on N900. He said QtQuick 2.0 should bring significant improvement but meanwhile he also said N900 was pretty old device... I then poked around trying to ask him if he knew the release date of "the new device." Obviously, he couldn't comment but he didn't deny we should see it in a few months. I got the sense that the "few" here meant 2-3 months. Before I approached the guy, an AT&T executive (judging from his suit) working at the building next to Hayatt came by the booth and asked "What is Qt?" I felt it would have been a great opportunity for a marketing guy to sell Qt/Meego. But no, we got an engineer answering the question so I am now pretty sure we won't see Harmattan device on AT&T .

I also talked to some Intel engineers about Meego. They confirmed Intel was unhappy about Nokia being late to deliver several modules. They asked me about my thought on Meego, and I told them no (handset) device was a big issue. I also told them community had the perception that open-source developement was too slow in pace. They joked around saying that's kinda true because they cannot change anything without getting approval (maybe from mailing-list discussion) first. But they said several Asian vendors were working on Meego tablet/IVI devices. I told them Meego needs a big-name vendor to be successful in us/eu area. They agreed but said it's not easy. I forgot to ask about LG's involvement with Meego.....
