About the N9, there is almost no relationship between Meego+Maemo hybrid on N9 and Tizen, except for use of the Linux kernel, despite some claims otherwise. APIs and most of the libraries appear to be very different. For example, Qt was the primary native API the N9 but is not supported in the official SDK for Tizen. Tizen is instead supporting Bada's native APIs.

Further, the critically acclaimed UI on the N9 was a proprietary solution developed by Nokia and Tizen has a different user interface.

Right, hence why it's taken this long to get a new version up and running. Jolla (Sailfish) imost resemble Meego the most since it's virtually the same team.
