I've been keeping an eye on MeeGo for a while now. Today, the only consumer device you can buy that will run Meego is the Nokia N900 (I'm using one right now). However, the N900 comes OOTB with Maemo 5, not Meego. There is a set of community-supported images to put MeeGo on the N900, but the images lack the polish expected of an end-user device; their target audience is clearly OS and app developers. This summer, speculation is that we can expect the N950 (aka N9), a Meego device from Nokia which will hopefully provide a solid hardware upgrade path for N900 owners (fixing quibbles like GPS reception, battery life, resistive touchscreen, fickle USB jack) Intel has been tooting their own horn for some time now regarding Meego, but have yet to walk the walk. There "should be" a "flood" of Meego tablets powered by Intel any quarter now, if you believe their PR folk. The most interesting development I've seen for Meego is their IVI (In-Vehicle Infotainment) effort. They're hoping to provide a commodity open source OS well suited to IVI tasks, including interacting with vehicle buses such as CAN, working with GPS receivers, interacting with Bluetooth telephony systems, indexing and playing music, etc. Meego IVI is slated to even use some libraries from the old Linux ICE (In Car Entertainment) effort, which I think really shows the strength of open source.

I originally read of MeeGo in Linux Journal and hear there was a slight fall-out with one of the cell phone vendors who was working on MeeGo before Android was widely known to the Canadian public. > > - AF > > "First came the void of the dark matter cluster; Ever contracting, consuming and invisible: then came the intelligence Publication, an explosive revelation, ever bright, instructive on most everything you see.
