Mer was designed to be Maemo rebuilt in a better, more open way. It was started before Nokia told anyone Maemo 5 wouldn't be released for the Internet Tablets. The fact that Mer is bringing Fremantle technologies to the 770, N800, and N810 is simply a side effect of Mer:
- tracking Maemo's development
- prioritizing running on as wide a range of hardware as is feasible
This means (and Mer developers have already stated) that:
- Mer will be made to run on the N900
- as Harmattan SDKs appear, Mer development will incorporate their changes
