	~~The "~~official~~" answer~~ from Nokia as of ~~2010~~ is ~~[[What~~ can ~~we realistically expect#Will Harmattan/Meego~~ be ~~supported~~ on the N900 ~~for the average consumer and not just for for developers ?\|"We don't Know~~.~~"]]~~		As of 2013, there have been no official announcements from Nokia of a MeeGo-Harmattan "Hacker Edition" for the N900.
			Furthermore, development on Harmattan at Nokia has stopped, and is not anticipated to continue in any capacity in the future.

			However, a fork of the official port of mainline MeeGo sponsored by Nokia, Nemo, based on Mer, can be installed on the N900.
