MeeGo was pretty great at running a lot of Linux binaries, wasn't it? I never had a phone with it or played with it, but it always seemed it was a big step closer to a mobile OS that allowed your phone to do most anything your desktop could do. If that's the case, I hope it takes off. Being able to run most BackTrack tools on my phone could be nice.
The N9, which only runs a Meego instance, i.e. provides the Meego API on Maemo (the biggest difference is likely that the package manager is dpkg rather than rpm as for Meego proper) can do pretty much everything the desktop can do, modulo the missing keyboard, libraries and architecture. Really, it’s mostly like any other Linux distribution with a little weird hardware.
