Guys,

I just found this news on news today. I'm not sure if this has already been posted.

http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/25/mee...to-install-it/

What exactly does this mean... I couldn't understand it with reference to PR 1.2

do you mean this bit?
Dual boot will come at some point, or at least it’s in the plans. It’s clearly convenient for developers. The elegant solution implies patching the current Maemo 5 kernel and it is too late for PR 1.2. Maybe less elegant solutions are available before, maybe the elegant solution comes soon…
He is just saying that an option to dual boot the initial meego dump and maemo will not be possible, as 1.2 will be ready to go by now (in final testing hopefully). So chances are, to test meego, you would reflash your n900 (And not try both at the same time etc...)

Why another thread about this...?
Just look at the Meego / Harmattan section... I think half of the threads debate about whether it will come for the N900, or what is that, or what is PR 1.2 already...
Seriously, about 2-3 of the threads in he actice topics sidebar are constantly whining about this...

by all this hoohaa...including the post above and another post by some guy about a conference in brazil....
im pretty much sure now that sooner or later MeeGo will surely be available for the N900 and that indeed is great news.
Coz if MeeGo werent meant for n900, then why would they even release a beta/testing version for it....ie why would they want to test a software on a device which in future is not meant to do....?

Thanks! That's what I was a bit confused about

Venemo, i think the above was a valid question - agree it could have been in another post. But all it is, is clarification of wording.

But to all the other when will meego be out questions - that one has been answered - and on the forum are IRC logs from the meego meeting. 1st April ish for 1st initial release and 1.1 later in the year.

Anyway back on track. Allways best to know your source - as most posts like these are regurgitations from these forums......
