Android's software is being pushed by Google, and the hardware - and so device drivers - by a few mobile device manufacturers including HTC.

MeeGo's software is being pushed by Nokia, and Nokia will also be the biggest provider of mobile phone hardware.

If Nokia are committed to MeeGo (and they've been making Maemo devices for years now and have done more-or-less right by that community) then I don't think device drivers are going to be an issue.

If other mobile phone manufacturers pick up MeeGo then there might be issues, but I imagine that no one will be interested until at least Nokia have shown that it's a viable platform.
