The winners of the PUSH N900 USA contest have been announced, Congratulations to Brett and Sarah for winning the Push N900 Mod in the USA competition, earning them the cash prize of $10,000! In just a few weeks time, they were able to turn the Nokia N900 into a bike dashboard that displays speedometer, odometer, route mapping, and even provided a car horn to make it a killer app for cyclists.
achipa, a current candidate in the Maemo Community Council election, has posted a summary of the possibilities of confusion around the MeeGo brand: recently Nokia re-branded Maemo 6 as MeeGo / Harmattan, which uses a different package format, repositories, so not quite the same MeeGo that was originally announced, despite the general similarity. In the same vein, Moblin folks started calling Moblin 2.2 simply MeeGo. [...] MeeGo (all 8 of them if I counted correctly) risks going from a strong distribution brand for the embedded industry to being just a generic synonym for 'Linux with Qt'. Your editor had also been thinking of posting something similar. Nokia have generally stood back and said that judgment should be postponed until the Harmattan SDK and MeeGo "day one" are released.
