The sad truth is, that there will be no official support for MeeGo on the N900. So in addition to the uncertain (albeit promising) quality of the MeeGo firmware for phones, we don't yet know the hardware this operating system will run on.

Of course due to the mostly-open nature of the N900 it is assured that there will be a community-supported distribution based on MeeGo for the N900. And it looks like Nokia might provide some infrastructure for that effort. But the tight coupling of the N900 hardware and MeeGo OS that our esteemed editor seems to make, remains yet to be seen.

Hmmm. Please do note that the N900 however is the official development platform for MeeGo on mobile devices. So it is very unlikely it won't run on it, despite not being 'official'...
