From the blog post:

Quote:

At this point, I need to remind you about the basics: MeeGo is an open source project and if you choose to install the MeeGo image to your N900 device, you do it completely at your own risk. If you are not confident that you know what you are doing with it and why, please don't use it at all. Especially now, if you start playing with call software under development, you need to watch after your phone bill, as well. Also, please use the latest repositories only, or the next weekly image that is downloadable from the MeeGo repositories every Monday

Remember this.. also, it's not a Nokia product in any way.

Also, for good measure, dual boot isn't 'easily', what's being included in PR1.3 kernel is kexec functionality. Right now we actually have a very easy 'dual boot' (write an image to your microsd, load using PC flasher)

The verdict on what specific technology to use for actual multiboot is still up in the air, but we're bordering on u-boot still as the usual multiboot solution isn't suitable for MeeGo and >2.6.28 kernels.

Amazingly good news! I am excited to hear that Maemo is moving forward with PR1.3 AND further Meego development. It sounds like there are N900 fans with high positions at Nokia that see the value in not letting the N900 become a lost cause.

PR 1.3 have been said long time ago that it will come to the N900. But now just because the release is close there is more love from nokia then a week ago? All this nokia left us stuff is just ridicilous and we will start hearing this again one week after 1.3 is released.

Nokia's promise was a MeeGo device by end-2010. So, I guess since the N9 isn't ready yet, we get lucky?
