Nokia? Who is that? (No handset UX was released)

I don't know what are the plans for official releases, but there seems to be a 1.2 RC3 for Nokia N900 now available, worked together by a paid team and voluntary people. Looks good to me since eventually I'm searching for a successor/alternative to my Neo FreeRunner (even though GTA04 could give it a couple of more years), and currently it seems power management and other similar critical issues start to be solved. Power management was mentioned in the MeeGo Core release notes (https://meego.com/downloads/releases/1.2/meego-v1.2-core-...) and the RC3 is available from http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900

Do you mean in the netbook, tablet, in-vehicle, smart TV, marine industry or handset market? Well of course I know you meant handsets, but just to make a point. MeeGo seems to aim broad. In the handset area, in the news there have been talks about LG, ZTE, Huawei, Panasonic, China Mobile at least.

Some laptop manufacter install some kind of Maemo/Meego to non-enslaved laptops (no Windows preinstalled). In my case, it is just installed, not even supporting all feature of the laptop hardware. The funny thing is I can't find a button to shutdown the laptop from the user interface though I'm sure this is not a bug, somehow.

I was surprised to see the major mobile enterprise in my country selling a Maemo device (Nokia N900). [1]

It's not much, and I really don't know how long they will support it, but does seem to indicate Maemo it's still not dead for Nokia.

Nokia has a 60% market share in my country.
