My biggest expectation for mobile device is some device running open source OS and have no limitation for OS upgraded and driver open.
The closest OS is Mer and it almost already succeed except ARM CPU manufacturer refuse to provide open source driver.
Why Mer wait for special manufacturer? There are many manufacturers for same level ARM CPU. Some hope to keep sth secret for high profit but this choice shouldn't be the only choice of all manufacturers.
After Mer have been success on one platform then more hardware manufacturer will choose to compatible with Mer otherwise they will lose a big market.
All user who have suffered from 18 month support then be abandoned and forced to buy new device should push independent mobile OS.
Mer should find the best way to success and not just wait for sth happen.
Mer perhaps doesn't have same goal with one ARM cpu manufacturer but independent OS shouldn't depend on any one. It should be the leader of this history trend.

What I'm hoping from Mer eventually would be something like what Openinkpot is trying to be to e-readers(a generic independant distro one can deploy on multiple e-readers). A generic independant distro one could deploy on a tablet device and have it work. MeeGo I don't really see it going that way.

It's governed by Intel and Nokia, and Linux Fundation is it's home. Frankly I don't really trust any of the three to be on the same page. But that's simply a personal reason.

From what I've read, Mer is dead; Meego, I don't know, too early to say. I'd certainly like something that prolongs the life of the n8x0, since the n900 is not the replacement I want for them.
