ExoPC – MeeGo Tablet UI
Lenovo S10-3t – MeeGo Netbook
Advent Vega – Running @vgrade port of MeeGo
O2 Joggler (Open Peak) – Runinng a MeeGo Port
WeTab – Runing WeTab’s own MeeGo UI
and … ME – Well thats a given

Yes, it even magically floats in air ……
 
MeeGo-Meetup-WeTab-TwimGo-MeeGoExperts
WeTab + TwimGo = Quite a nice looking app. Separate video will be up soon.
 
MeeGo-Meetup-Nokia-E7-MeeGoExperts
Another star of the show was not a MeeGo device, but the UK Unlreleased Nokia E7 courtesy of WomworldNokia.Solid hardware and form factor that business users will appreciate. Keyboard was very good, felt a bit spaced out but I think that could more be a case of getting used to it. I think a bit more hands on is required to fully realise its potential.
 
MeeGo-Meetup-Nokia-E7-Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-MeeGoExperts
Shot of the Nokia E7 sitting ontop of a Samsung Galaxy Tab. There is some work going on towards making a MeeGo port for the Samsung Galaxy Tab and we would love the same being done with regards to the Nokia E7, but there are certain boot loader questions that need to be answered before this can get progressed. Any takers for this porting task ?
 
MeeGo-Meetup-Nokia-N900-MeeGoExperts
The “Legend”. Nokia N900 running early MeeGo. Still a work in progress but now with the recent Announcement of the MeeGo N900 Developer Edition there is continued momentum for this build.
 
MeeGo-Meetup-Advent-Vega-MeeGoExperts
The Advent Tegra. Originally a Android device, but thanks to community member @vgrade it now runs MeeGo.
 
MeeGo-Meetup-Group-shot-MeeGoExperts
More tech than what you can shake a stick at
 
MeeGo-Meetup-Joggler-MeeGoExperts
Center stage, the O2 Joggler (a.k.a Open Peak in the US) and it runs … MeeGo (good guess)
 
MeeGo-Meetup-Lenovo-ideaPad-MeeGoExperts
Linaro s10-3t running the netbook version of MeeGo and has become quite a fast and stable device over the last few months. This is the same device that was generously given out at the first ever Meego Conference in Dublin
 
MeeGo-Meetup-MeeGo-Tablet-MeeGoExperts
The ExoPC running the first release of the MeeGo Tablet User interface that is running pre-alpha 1.2 . A cool user interface which shows where we are going.
 
MeeGo-Meetup-Photo-King-MeeGoExperts
We just had to show you Annkur from OnlyGizmos with his unique photography tricks of using two phones. The jury is still out to this being an approved photography trick at this point 😉
 
MeeGo-Meetup-the-crew-MeeGoExperts
A good time had by all and some MeeGo myths were laid to rest (hopefully). Unfortunately some of the attendees that travelled a bit of distance had to leave a bit earlier, but hopefully we can figure out ways around this in the future.
Look forward to your comments.
