I am glad that someone is talking about the OVI maps 'same as on Symbian phones', this is the only topic that can create a pin drop silent in Nokia land and now in MeeGo
Since Nokia is not associated with MeeGo as its focus OS I suspect OVI maps will be available on MeeGo. I would to see OVI maps with navigation and spoken street names.
Microsoft want Nokia too use WP7 and Microsoft ecosystem cause of atleast two good reasons (for them not for us :-(
1. WP7 doesnt sell well they need a bigcompany to support it
2. Microsofts lack of good streetmaps in european. Thats why Nokia is very good for them cause they have the good very good streetmaps because they bought some big gpsmaps company (forgot theyr name).
So again. Microsoft owns Nokia now. That means OviMaps will rename to "Microsoft maps" in some years.
But then again Meego will not die cause Nokias stupid decisions :-)
But my point is we cant expect OviMaps on Meego.
My guess is we have to go for GoogleMaps (if Google licenses allow that?). If not the only alternative will be OpenStreetMaps.

I cannot imagine Microsoft letting anyone else use Nokia maps but I know that the OVI maps team was working on OVI maps for MeeGo and they mentioned in one of their blogs (the original map developers) that once it is ready for MeeGo it can then be ported on Maemo but as we all know there have been changes in Nokia land recently making the developer's statement null and void.

I don't see Ovi Maps on Meego. Why would Nokia "distribute it free" on Meego platforms? Unless Nokia starts making flagship phones with Meego on it, I don't think we'll see official Ovi Maps on Meego devices.
I think mapping will be, as stskeeps suggested, a community effort on Meego. Or Google Maps tops.

I am not saying there *will* be an Ovi Maps on the Nokia Meego device, but I sure wouldn't say it is impossible, just because "it would have to be distributed free". I don't see how you get from Meego is free to "all software on Nokia Meego device must be freely distributable on all Meego devices".

Does Meego have Xterm or some other terminal application out of the box? And can it be rooted as easily as N900?

If by "rooting' you mean su/root access then yes.
#su root
pwd = meego

At last something in "daily" again to play with it 
The first boot ended up in black screen, but the next one was successfull.
Unfortunately I was unable to type anything in Xterm as the hardware keyboard layout was totally messed up and the software keyboard does not appear when in Xterm...
Image was: mg-handset-armv7nhl-n900-de-acceptance-1.1.99.6.20110506.3.DE.2011-05-10.2-mmcblk0p.raw.bz2
But - keep up your good work on DE

Hey, followed the method to get MeeGo on the SD - is there a way to dualboot it without using flasher? I mean, using 'run mmcboot' on the u-Boot prompt?
Thanks!
Thanks!
