What IS interesting, IMO, is whether and when Meego to N900 will be more usable than NITroid to N900.
It is more like Meego/N900 vs NITroid/N900, than vs N9.
Right now, NITroid/N900 is alot more usable than Meego/N900.
NITroid will be a good baseline along with Maemo5 to the Meego developers.
Good Job, NITroid guys!

they already have 3d graphics acceleration.

Had the maemo guys convinced HQ to release all closed source drivers

i tested nitdroid last night on my n900, still it needs much work
it stops responding every while and still many important features are missing such as phone and camera in addition to improvments in stability issues. i hope that nitdroid will get more attention and will spread more if these issues were taken into consideration...
The higher the class sd card the better it will be
I for one am pleased we have a bunch of guys getting Android working on the n900, I have 2 n900's one is my main phone running meaego and the other I dont use with a sim and is effectively an Android Tablet
Had the maemo guys convinced HQ to release all closed source drivers, N900 would have been a serious threat to marketing/sales 101 = pay 500$ every 6-12 months for up to date phone.
I think that is the meaning of Engadget "threat".
Edit: forgot...I love this phone!
