This make me even more less optimist about the future of Meego. The 
interesting concept of Maemo was to lower the difference between a PC 
and a mobile computer. There is already a lot of mobile products that do 
a lot of fun stuff in a very different way as in a PC. And in this area, 
Meego is so late and immature that is have no chance at all.

You are mixing facts and concepts. The fact that the pure ADM64 arch in 
Debian was some years ago rather different from mainline Debian (and 
others 64 bits distos at this time) did no invalid the concept that the 
goal was to merge.
