Wow.. that's kind of cool.
Would be interesting to see a single OS across all the "tablets"
.
We'll see who gets there first... MeeGo or Igelle.

It certainly would be. I found it interesting that they aren't basing their distribution on anything else, that very rarely happens anymore.
Most of the time to make releases faster, they base it on Debian, Fedora, Slackware, Gentoo or SuSE. (Pretty sure I nailed all the core distros, although I don't really count SuSE ('cause I hate it) because it's still RPM based, and uses the same general package management system that Fedora / Redhat uses.)
Igelle does sound like they are trying for a universal platform, a sort of run on desktop, mobile, your toaster, etc.

Well I may have found a useful (in the near future) distribution for our N900s!
Igelle from the description seems to be an independent Linux distribution, that has it's own interface (so doesn't use RPM or DEB packages, has it's own package management AND doesn't use Gnome or KDE or anything else I've seen before)
Best part, here is their response when I inquired about N900 support
"We have not tested on the N900 hardware, but we are quite confident that there will be no issues. This device is one of our planned targets. We also hope we will be able to support the older N8x0 series and even the N700."
So there you have it, another possibility for the N900's future (and we all know that the N900 has a lot of possibilities!
