Thanks for having the energy to merge some of it!

Maybe you can PM some of the 1st posters, & get them to add content to their posts?
Or maybe a moderator can do that for you?
Or you could put everything into a googledocs document, & just link to it from the OP?
Otherwise just put it in a new post in this thread, and link to that new post from the OP?

I wouldn't worry too much about apps & peripheral stuff like that.
Unless it's an app you think is critical, & the OS doesn't have it built-in.
Sources to where one can kind find out about the latest apps is better.

e.g.
http://projects.developer.nokia.com/home
http://wiki.meego.com/Community_Offi..._program/Nokia
http://my-meego.com/
http://wiki.meego.com/MeeGo_Apps

If you've got time I'd try to simplify the OP...
Because of the way you've opted to lay-it-out, I personally find it hard to read.
I see what you're trying to do, but it makes it less readable IMO.
Not a "biggy", only if you agree, and have time.

I'm pretty much done for now....
I don't think I'll be very active for at least a month.
