China's Red Flag announces their MeeGo NPad: http://bit.ly/9L4dZk

Features: Moorestown powered, 10.1-inch touch screen, WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G, GPS, 8-hour battery life

Coming out third quarter with price lower than the iPad!

Well that's funny - no Nokia NPad then I guess OR maybe this is just vaporware. Would be nice thing though. I actually have that background image in my N900 at the moment (panorama on all 4 screens)!

Edit: The icons look very N900-ish as well. I hope the product, if it comes to market, is somehow decently finished so that the tech blogs don't immediately thrash MeeGo as NoGo.

You beat me to it i was just about to post that.

Slowly more and more products creeping out.

Posted on my meego blog too. link in sig.

I really wonder how legit this is...

Those icons look pretty much like Nokia's, which I'm fairly sure isn't going to go down well.. Then, what UX is running? That looks like nothing released so far.

Also, the software.. "Modest"? Really?

All that said, if it is truly a MeeGo product, cool.

The icons, background and whole thing looks very Maemo to me and not at all that demoed MeeGo tablet UI.

If I'm not mistaken, that panels part in that Tablet UI video in YouTube is a proprietary Intel UI. I hope I'm wrong though.

Proprie what a tory? If the source comes from GPL it needs to remain GPL. Any source derived from it needs to remain GPL. Any source modified to interact with it in certain ways needs to be GPL. The GPL does not engulf output files this way, so data such as images, saved files, and the sort retain original copyright.

As it is: http://meego.com/about/licensing-policy MeeGo's source is GPL v.2. The only thing protectable in MeeGo is the trade dress. (Unless the source is closed, then it's GPL comes into effect and requires it be opened)

Just the basics, so I am certain I am skipping over the finer details of the GPL,

EDIT: I thought I would edit this to add a point. The only time the Copyright and ownership of any portion of the source, and derivatives of the source should ever come into play is when a closed source edition is released. If at any other time it comes into play is simply a wedge meant to separate Nokia, Intel, Linux, and the Community.

I am skeptic about the so-called Meego NPad. I can read Chinese. Do you know what a Chinese company would do when she releases a new product? Ask a Chinese or search at. baidu.com.

Can you guess it.? I 'll tell you tomorrow . . . . .

In China, google.com is banned. You must use baidu.com
