Tried it yesterday, useless then and it looks like this is the same version.

One thing to keep in mind:

What is getting released in end of October is a platform. This platform has reference applications and such and fairly good N900 support, but it's probably not enough for most end-users.

I'd like to motivate people to take this platform and base on top of it shape it into something they'd like for their phone. Even backporting things from 1.2. Things you could do would be adding MP3 codecs, community Qt applications, etc. It's free to modify and hack and even to publish your own versions of online (some of the closed bits only if you do it on a non-commercial basis, NeoPwn, I'm looking at you).

Next version of MeeGo is in 6 months after 1.1 release and you can do exciting things early on if you organise yourself like the community SSU guys. Even kernel improvements from 1.2 can be used in 1.1 as we're not upgrading the kernel, likely.

There will be platform bug fixes coming out for 1.1 but no new features after release date.

For example, one thing important for end users that is not supported in this release is 3G browsing...

Once the UI exists in MeeGo 1.2 for this, it should be trivial to backport. The problem is that the UI doesn't exist for setting up APN and that junk, but is coming for sure (The Intel guys simply didn't have a working modem on their Aava device)

No. And phone support works, but only if you like to make phone calls via speakerphone.

And this only because we don't have a policy daemon setting up audio routing

well as said it's a UI issue so I would like to assume that it still can be set to some other way like command line am I right? Could I know how?

Since Qt is cross-platform, porting Qt apps from N900 (PR1.2) tot MeeGo shouldn't be very troublesome I think?
Apart from different system variables/standards maybe?

It's probably not that easy
