But any buy would happen ONLY if the above were true AND it significantly exceeded the N900's capabilities.
I am sure most of the libs and UI in harmattan willl be released for Meego.

Except those "apps" that is not allowed to be opensourced. But I dont see them as "Harmattan core" anyway.

I am expecting a Nokia:s "Qt-components for Meego" in the GIT repository in about two weeks from now. And that means Harmattan in the most is already merged too meego IF intel(and the community) allows them too add it to Meego 1.3.
