Just wanted to share to those N900 owners and to those planning to buy
an N900 out there.

MeeGo code coming in March, will run on Atom boards and N900
By Ryan Paul | Last updated 2 days ago
In an announcement published last week, Nokia's Valtteri Halla revealed
that Intel and Nokia are planning to launch the public MeeGo source code
repository by the end of the month.
The MeeGo project began to take shape last month when Intel and Nokia

plans to merge their respective Linux-based mobile computing platforms
into a single open source software project. The unified software
platform, which consists of technology from Maemo and Moblin, will be
designed for use on a wide range of device form factors and will support
both ARM and x86 architectures.

The convergence process seems to have gotten a promising start. When the
source code is made available at the end of the month, it will include
basic support for running on Atom test boards and Nokia's N900
smartphone. This is a promising sign for N900 owners, who were initially
concerned that they might get left behind by the new mobile software
platform.
"Nokia and Intel have set the target to open the MeeGo repository by the
end of this month. I guess this is something that finally will signify
the real 'Day One' of MeeGo project, a genuine merger of moblin and
maemo," wrote Halla. "What is scheduled to be available then is the
first and very raw baseline to a source and binary repository to build
MeeGo trunk on Intel ATOM boards and Nokia N900."
