By now you have probably heard of MeeGo the new OS being created by the synergy between Nokia and Intel. MeeGo is going to be a completely new Free Software Linux based OS. The most striking difference between MeeGo and Maemo, Nokia’s current Linux based OS, is that Maemo was for the most part a Debian derivative, while MeeGo will not be directly based on any existing distribution

step 4 out of 5 doesn't really count anymore. Like the article says this is a new ballgame.

It's hard to believe they would plan to make MeeGo from scratch.
A dozen years ago there was a pretty, useful, responsive, multitasking OS named EPOC, dedicated for touchscreen and keyboard.
Symbian should have been based upon it (was declared as next version of EPOC), but it seems they decided to create it from scratch. Today, ten years later, Symbian is still a crap (from a power user point of view) in comparison to old EPOC. Would they want to repeat such a failure?
