It seems that the May release will be the one to take note of. The release next week will be an initial code release. The exciting thing is that development will be open from then on, so any and all progress should be able to be tracked by the public going towards that meego 1.0 release in May.

Hopefully it will not disappoint
IIRC, At some point during the meeting they said all work so far has been on putting the base together, up to X.. So I got the impression not alot of effort has been put into doing anything with the GUI yet, so it's probably something random leftover.

Please set your expectations right for next week: nothing beautiful, stable or fully featured wil be released for handsets next week. 99% of you don't want to install that release in your N900 and the rest probably have two devices or is used to reflash.

It's a first code dump release, nothing else. It is very important from a platform development point of view, mildly interesting for application developers (because of the architecture announced, mainly) and nothing the average user or blogger will be interested playing with.

Dual boot will come at some point, or at least it's in the plans. It's clearly convenient for developers. The elegant solution implies patching the current Maemo 5 kernel and it is too late for PR 1.2. Maybe less elegant solutions are available before, maybe the elegant solution comes soon... We don't know yet and currently we have other priorities. As said, not even for the average developer these first unstable releases are interesting enough to maintain a dual boot in their devices.

So one could be hoping for a convenient way to dual boot maemo PR1.3 release then? Sounds good to me.

Is it safe to say that according to plans, the May release should be much more interesting in terms of GUI design and functionality of MeeGo? (Of course still not anywhere near the current or PR1.2 level of maemo 5 but more interesting for the general user none the less!)
