What about N9?
This looks so sick!!! I can’t wait. do we have a release date for this software? is it free?! AHHHH Meego = WIN.
It may be able to run Android apps, but how do you get them if they are only available on Googles app store?
@Hakki working on it….
@NB, we will be announcing release schedule…stay tuned
@ dans, you can use any other android appstore such as Amazon, SlideMe and so forth…
Great! hurry;)
No answer about price?
hey whats happening? is this plan get over? there is no announce for anyone…
Am I correct that “OEM only” means we’ll never see it in an app store?
Bryan, I wouldn’t say never…but not in the next 30 days.
do they plan to support harmattan
Please let it be so
What about doing this for N9
WOW! im not worried about Myriad Alien Dalvik anymore
Wow… if this is released for the N9 and it works very well, I would be a happy n9 customer
Wow… if this is released for the N9 and it works very well, I would be a happy n9 customer
Dont release only to OEMs. Nokia will never purchase this bcuz according to Flop android is the enemy. Sell it to the consumers
I understand why they are thinking B2B, it is money up front. But unless Nokia/acer etc. is in on it they have to go B2C. E.g. If this works for the N9, you could sell this for min 20$ on ovi market, and that is alot more than they will get pr. device in a OEM B2B model.
Please make it work on N9! That would make me HAPPY
this is a hoax, folks. Quick visit to the “openalliance” website reveals that it is based on “C#” – something that is not even available or officially supported as it is a windows only platform.
This is another FUD tool from m$ – either that or someone smoked too much before spreading this FUD.
“OpenMobile’s ACL for MeeGo is designed for the OEM and not for end users or other players in the mobile device industry.”! I do not think Microsoft will allow Elop/Nokia to make this available for the N9-users, because that would completly kill WP7!
Does this really give access Google Android Market, can I really use my apps that I have paid for on the Android Market without having to pay for them again on any other Android App Market?
are megoo for nokia only?
Will this be available for Maemo 5 ??? My N900 is begging for fresh blood (apps).
Nachi, how is dewelopement going?
Does this work in Nokia QT products, Meltemi and Harmatan?
Thanks for your continued interest. We are making very good progress. We are working with industry players to make ACL available. Please stay tuned for announcements, progress.
Regards
Why not release this as software for end users. I would be more than happy to pay for this if it enables me to install Android apps on my N9.
I have been tuned for a long time now, get it on nokia store and i will gladly pay 25$ for it.
VAPORWARE
What about Tizen? I hope the developer community will stay with meego!! Does anybody here have any information on that?
Come on Nachi give us some more
I’m thinking about getting a N9 but i only will if it can handle Android Apps, so please release this to the customers
Any schedule yet?

“Bryan, I wouldn’t say never…but not in the next 30 days.”

Is there any chance that this software is going to be released?
que tal, tengo un N9 y hace 2 semanas estoy intentando bajarme aplicaciones y no puedo conseguir nada. skype,whatsapp o Wazapp .. y muchas mas.
por favor , no dejen delado al N9, es un celular muy lindo muy bueno como para que no tenga las pricipales redes sociales o chats que ya tiene la mayoria de los SO que estan en el mercado.
espero que esto se solucione pronto porque ya no soporto mas tener queestar esperando a haber que pasa con este cel.
