I'm guessing your money has no self-esteem (or self-respect) for it to want to be traded in for a WeTab (urgh!).

Oh really, what exactly is wrong with the WeTab ??

So... lemme ask the question that nobody seems to be answering.

The only MeeGo based product out there and yet nobody has used it yet?

"MeeGo" based, they're in no way compliant. And they'd need to sell it outside Germany for any appreciable number of people to use it. Not that I'd buy it, what with the poky hardware :/

Define compliant. I mean, it's an open source OS, right? What compliance do you speak of that I'm more than likely not aware of?

MeeGo actually has a compliance spec in development that vendors must follow to be able to use the MeeGo trademark and be reasonably considered compatible. The version of MeeGo they used was before the first version of the spec was even released, and is pretty much guaranteed to not be by the time it's settled.

There's nothing stopping them, but they can't call their OS "MeeGo" or even "MeeGo compliant."

Basically to be able to use the MeeGo trademark you need to be compliant.

Long story short it means you can't remove a lot of things from the system, butcher it, claim it's MeeGo and have disappointed users not have their applications work on your devices...

Or as some has done, dump the user experience on top of OpenSUSE, with no sight of MeeGo Core and make a product with a name close to MeeGo that gets confused by bloggers and newssites for being MeeGo-based, where MeeGo applications wouldn't function properly on..

Compliance is a negatively-laden word but in practice it is just trademark enforcement and is very similar to many other distributions such as OpenSUSE's, Ubuntu's or Fedora's.

The goal for compliance is to avoid fragmentation..
