But in the world of reality - even IF that would be possible - who will at the end of 2010, and beyond, backport applications to the N900 when the N9xx is already out - or about to come out?

Answer: The same amount of development effort that is currently spent on any other Nokia legacy device.

Reading 25 pages of this thread, I've seen a number of posts on the *political* advantages of this combination of *corporations* -- but I can't recall any posts describing what Moblin itself brings to the party. What does Moblin do better than Maemo? How is this technical hybrid better than if Intel had simply dropped Moblin and agreed to adopt Maemo, work on it with Nokia, and do the Linux Foundation thing?


(That is, how is it better apart from adding x86 support?)

I don't see that happening either. Talk.maemo.org is horrendously structured and as we've seen that's not going to change this side of hell-freezing-over.

I can't think of anything on maemo.org that would have value for a MeeGo venture.

Saner base platform. Maemo has diverged so far off into left field from Debian that it's basically become its own platform. Moblin brings back to having an upstream (MeeGo) that's up-to-date and sane.

Plus ConMan and such.

Would you mind to expand? I am not doubting you, just want to learn more.

all that means is they have multiple devices with different demos installed which is the norm
N00 usually means it a internal device or pre-production

Of course not. And quite contrary to the concept of community if you ask me. Utilizing governance principles, I would add that you carefully consider whether any particular Council even has the authority to dissolve the organization.

Yes, the same way we support Maemo and maemo.com, maybe? But maybe we should make that decision by way of referendum?
