Fortunately though, MeeGo seems to have a logo now.

Nokia has invested in several fronts to maintain the lead in the global mobile phone market. In addition to the app store online service to sell music and launches high-end models, the manufacturer also chooses Meego, operating system, developed in partnership with Intel and released earlier this year at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
sorry, but I don't think this is quite the public confirmation of Meego coming to the N900 that it could have been.
As someone has already stated, we know that Meego is coming to the N900, but that it will be a "developer" version rather than a "consumer" one.

Except Meego hasn't yet been developed, and wasn't released earlier this year, just announced.

I am trying my best to ask everyone I can if this is really true. Now I sent another email to the company who does PR for Nokia Brazil, asking them to confirm as well...
Just the time will tell us, but if Anssi Vanjoki did confirm N900 with Meego for Brazil market we can assume it is a Nokia supported version instead of a community one, don't you agree?

Probably the N900 will be capable of running both Maemo and MeeGo giving users the option to choose what they prefer. Atleast that's how i see it.

One issue is that the MeeGo name is very overloaded.
There's the upcoming MeeGo dsitribution, which device makers can use as base for operating system on their devices.
There's the MeeGo API, which app developers can develop for and their apps will run on everything MeeGo branded.
We know that Maemo 6/Harmattan will be a hybrid between Maemo and MeeGo dsitribution, and will fully support the MeeGo API, and indeed will be branded and sold as MeeGo.
We know that through PR1.2 Maemo 5 will get the same version of QT as MeeGo, and thus Maemo 5 PR 1.2 will also probablyh provide the MeeGo API for app developers, and could be called MeeGo if same criteria as for Harmattan are used..
So in conclusion, due to "MeeGo" meaning many things, even if Anssi had originally said something very specific, the journalists probably failed to pick up and comprehend the nuances, and just simplified it to "N900 with MeeGo", which in the end tells us nothing new that we already did not know.
